This set includes gorgeous go bowls and refurbished slate & clamshell go stones.
The wood has a pleasant brown-red tone with grain like rosewood. Quince is sometimes called Indian Rosewood in Japan, and has great longevity. They are XL size, but arrived in great shape so they were not refurbished. Please see the photos for measurements and condition.
The 180 white pieces are Mexican clamshell, with distinct lines. They were soaked in hydrogen peroxide for a week before being rinsed with distilled water.
The 181 black stones are slate, and are slightly larger than the white; this is usually preferred so that they appear the same size side-by-side. They were washed with soapy water and rinsed with distilled water, but have not been buffed with mineral oil as we leave this choice to you.
This is a Vintage item.
