YMI Marble Double Convex Go Stones and Straw Bowls - 8.0mm

Marble, a material that is both indestructible and a universal metaphor for strength, seems a perfect material to combine with the game of Go.

These pieces have a nice bounce and snap, like Yunzi stones, but at the same time have an elegance and shimmer that is pure marble. The type of marble used is called Hanbaiyu and Hei Hanbaiyu. This unique high quality marble was used during ancient China in building temples, palaces and sculptures.

Comments & Reviews

The stones come with a layer of wax for protection. However, the white color wax look rather 'dirty' on the black stones. Its quite hard to wipe off the additional layer of wax too. If you take a close look at these stones, they are quite irregular in terms of thickness. But if you look at it from playing position, it becomes hardly noticeble. *These stones DO NOT FIT japanese size boards, it is meant only for chinese sized boards
