This flashy set came to Baduk Club from a dealer in Osaka, Japan. Agate and Onyx are a popular choice in China, where this set probably came from originally.
The white pieces are agate, with a nice variance in color. The black are onyx, and are a bit dusty in the photos, they are thicker than the white to account for black's slimming effect. The stones are about size 36 (10mm) thick, but note these semi-precious stones are very hard, so it is difficult to cut with the same precision as slate and shell. The set is complete, with 181 black and 180 white.
The go bowls are Marble, with lids cut to match. They are polished on the outside but may be rough on the interior (hence the dust on the black stones). We would recommend using bowl liners or bags for the stones to avoid the dust.
This is a Vintage product.
