Marble Chess Set 12 Inch — Travertine & Green Onyx Stone Chess Set with Foam Storage Box & 2 Extra Queens

A 12-inch hand-carved natural stone marble chess set — warm matte travertine border and light squares against polished banded green onyx dark squares, 32 Staunton-form stone pieces, 2 extra queens, and a foam-lined storage box — weighing 7.1 pounds total with 4 verified reviews and free US shipping. This is the most visually distinctive compact chess set in the Speshstones catalog — an onyx chess set where Pakistani green onyx brings banded multicolor stone character to every dark square and every dark piece at the accessible 12-inch compact size, making this the only natural stone chess set in the 12-inch format where no two pieces on the same side share an identical visual appearance.

What This Green Onyx and Travertine Chess Set Includes

• 12-inch travertine-bordered board with banded green onyx dark squares — 11.81" × 11.81" × 0.04" exact, 7.1 lbs total: The board is a solid stone slab with a warm beige-cream travertine border surround and alternating travertine and green onyx inlaid squares across the full 12-inch playing surface. The travertine border and light squares have the characteristic heavy natural pitting of genuine sedimentary travertine — warm beige-cream matte surface with pronounced natural voids visible across the full border and all light squares, confirmed from the product image. The green onyx dark squares are polished — and unlike any other single-tone stone in the chess catalog, each green onyx square has a completely different banding pattern of green, amber, cream, and translucent white running across the polished surface. No two dark squares on the board are visually identical. The board reads as a warm natural stone object at room level — the travertine border dominates the board silhouette — and reveals the dramatic banded green onyx color at playing height and close range. The board base has an attached felt pad protecting any table surface. At 7.1 pounds the compact 12-inch set is the most portable natural stone onyx chess set in the Speshstones catalog
• 32 hand-carved Staunton-form stone pieces — 16 green onyx pieces each uniquely banded: Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. The dark side is Pakistani green onyx — banded multicolor stone with green, amber, cream, and translucent white running through every carved piece surface in completely different patterns on every individual piece. The piece closeup confirmed in the product image library shows the pronounced banding and surface variation between pieces — no two green onyx pieces share an identical banding arrangement. The light side is natural travertine — warm beige-cream with heavy pronounced surface pitting visible across every carved piece surface. Every piece has an attached felt base pad protecting the board surface during play
• 2 extra queens — 1 green onyx + 1 travertine, both at full Queen height: Both extra queens are full-size hand-carved stone pieces at the full 2.5-inch Queen height — one banded green onyx queen with its own unique banding pattern and one warm matte travertine queen. Both match the playing queens exactly in height, form, and material. Both store with the full set in the included foam-lined storage box
• Foam-lined storage box — all 34 pieces protected: The complete set stores in a dedicated foam-lined storage box — confirmed from Image 6 alt text "Marble Chess Pieces in Foam-Lined Storage Box." The foam construction holds all 34 pieces individually — 32 playing pieces plus both extra queens — preventing piece-to-piece contact during storage and transport. The foam-lined storage box is included in the purchase price
• Compact 12-inch format at 7.1 pounds — the most accessible onyx chess set in the Speshstones catalog: At 12 × 12 inches and 7.1 pounds this is the compact format designed for casual games and limited space. At $125.89 this is the most accessible price point for a genuine Pakistani green onyx chess set in the Speshstones catalog — $30 less than the 15-inch Travertine+Green Onyx Tournament Set at $155.85 — with the same banded onyx character in the compact portable format

Why Green Onyx Makes This the Most Visually Distinctive Chess Set in the 12-Inch Catalog

Every 12-inch chess set in the Speshstones catalog pairs travertine with a second stone material — black marble, white marble, oceanic marble, or red marble. All of those second materials are primarily single-toned. Green onyx is categorically different because it is a banded multicolor stone — green, amber, cream, and translucent white appear simultaneously within every single piece and every dark board square, in different proportions and patterns on every individual carved surface.

This means the 16 green onyx pieces on the dark side of this chess set are each genuinely different from each other. The King has a completely different banding arrangement than the two Bishops. Each Rook differs from the other. Each of the 8 green onyx Pawns has its own banding pattern. At playing height the green onyx dark squares each have a different banding direction and color proportion — some squares lean green, others show more amber or cream. The board surface itself is never uniform on the dark square side.

As a unique chess set at compact 12-inch size, the green onyx combination delivers something no other natural stone chess set in the 12-inch catalog offers — genuine geological multicolor character visible at piece and board level during play and display. As a cool chess set for a home with a warm-toned, organic modern, or botanical interior, the banded green onyx and travertine combination coordinates naturally with green plants, warm wood, natural fiber textiles, and warm stone surfaces without requiring an exact color match to existing furniture or decor. As an onyx chess set this is the only product in the Speshstones 12-inch catalog featuring genuine Pakistani green onyx — a material not available from standard retail chess stores at any price point in this form.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This handmade chess set is carved from two genuine natural stones — natural travertine and Pakistani green onyx — whose geological origins and visual characters are the most different of any material pairing in the 12-inch Speshstones chess catalog. Natural travertine is a sedimentary limestone formed by the precipitation of calcium carbonate from natural spring water — creating the warm beige-cream color and heavy natural pitting confirmed across the board border, travertine light squares, and all 16 travertine pieces in the product image library. Pakistani green onyx is a banded chalcedony and calcite stone — formed by the slow deposition of silica-rich groundwater in alternating mineral layers over geological time, creating the characteristic banding of green, amber, cream, and translucent white that runs through the full stone body in organic sweeping patterns. Green onyx is semi-translucent — calcium carbonate and silica crystals allow partial light transmission through the polished stone, giving each piece and square a warm internal color quality visible in natural light that no opaque stone material in the 12-inch catalog replicates. Every piece is individually hand-carved from genuine natural stone in classic Staunton form. No paint. No dye. No coating. The green, amber, and cream tones of the onyx pieces come from genuine mineral banding within the stone body. The warm beige-cream of the travertine pieces comes from genuine sedimentary limestone material. Because every piece is carved from a separate block of naturally banded stone, no two green onyx pieces have an identical banding pattern — genuine geological variation that no cast, printed, or manufactured surface can replicate.

How to Care for Your Green Onyx and Travertine Chess Set

This natural stone chess set requires minimal care between play and display sessions. For the board, wipe the full 12-inch playing surface including the travertine border with a soft damp cloth after each session to remove fingerprint oils and dust from both the matte travertine areas and the polished green onyx dark squares. The polished green onyx squares show fingerprint marks against the banded colored surface — a quick microfibre cloth wipe after each session maintains the banded color quality. The travertine border and light squares have heavy natural pitting — use a soft brush with mild pH-neutral soap during weekly deeper cleaning to clear any debris from within the pitting on both the board travertine areas and all 16 travertine pieces. For the green onyx pieces, wipe each piece with a soft damp microfibre cloth — the polished banded surface cleans completely in one pass. Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, citrus-based sprays, or bleach on any onyx or travertine surface — these permanently etch and dull both the polished green onyx banding and the matte travertine surface. Green onyx is particularly sensitive to acidic contact because the calcite and silica banding layers have different acid sensitivities — use only clean water or pH-neutral soap for all green onyx surfaces. Always lift pieces during play — never slide stone pieces across the board surface. Store all 34 pieces in the included foam-lined storage box between sessions — the foam cutouts protect each uniquely banded green onyx piece individually. Apply a food-safe penetrating stone sealer to all surfaces once or twice a year to maintain both stone finishes long-term.
