Marble Chess Set 15 Inch — Travertine & Green Onyx Stone Chess Set with Rigid Carry Case & 2 Extra Queens

A 15-inch hand-carved natural stone marble chess set — warm matte travertine border and light squares against polished banded green onyx dark squares, 32 tournament-size Staunton pieces, 2 extra queens, and a rigid black carry case with fabric handle — weighing 10.5 pounds total with free US shipping. This is the most visually distinctive onyx chess set in the Speshstones catalog — a cool chess set where Pakistani green onyx brings banded multicolor stone character to every dark square and every dark piece, making this the only chess set in the catalog where no two pieces on the same side share an identical visual appearance.

What This Green Onyx and Travertine Chess Set Includes

• 15-inch travertine-bordered board with banded green onyx dark squares — 14.96" × 14.96" × 0.04" exact, 10.5 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 15-inch playing surface. The travertine border and light squares have the same heavy characteristic pitting confirmed across all travertine-bordered chess sets in this catalog — warm beige-cream matte surface with pronounced natural voids visible across the full border. The green onyx dark squares are polished — and unlike the uniform single-tone polish of black marble or white marble, 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 — confirmed from the product image where each green onyx square has distinct banding direction, color proportion, and pattern. 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 10.5 pounds this is the full tournament-size format with genuine stone weight throughout
• 32 hand-carved tournament-size Staunton pieces — 16 green onyx pieces unlike any other in the catalog: 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. The piece closeup in the product image confirms this directly — the King, Rook, and Knight in green onyx each show completely different banding patterns and color proportions. The King has amber and green bands sweeping through the crown and shaft. The Rook has cream and green bands running horizontally across the castle form. The Knight's horse head shows green and amber banding following the curved carved surfaces. No two green onyx pieces in this set are visually identical — the banding direction, color proportion, and pattern differ on every individual piece because each piece is carved from a separate block of naturally banded stone. The light side is natural travertine — warm beige-cream with heavy pronounced surface pitting across every carved piece surface. Individual piece weights: King 0.21 lbs · Queen 0.19 lbs · Bishop 0.14 lbs · Knight 0.14 lbs · Rook 0.19 lbs · Pawn 0.15 lbs. Every piece has an attached felt base pad
• 2 extra queens — 1 green onyx + 1 travertine, both at full 3-inch tournament Queen height: Both extra queens are full-size hand-carved stone pieces at the full 3-inch tournament Queen height. The green onyx extra queen has its own unique banding pattern completely different from the playing queen — confirmed from the carry case image where the extra green onyx queen is visible stored alongside the main set. Both store in the rigid carry case with the full 32-piece set
• Rigid black carry case with fabric handle — confirmed from product image: The top-left panel of the product image shows the rigid black hard case open with all pieces organized in the foam interior — green onyx pieces in the top section and travertine pieces in the bottom section, with the black fabric carry handle visible on the top edge. The rigid construction and foam interior protect all 34 stone pieces — including the visually unique green onyx pieces whose banded surface character makes each piece a genuinely irreplaceable individual carved stone object
• Tournament-size format — 3.5-inch King, 15 × 15-inch board, 10.5 pounds: The King stands at 3.5 inches — within standard tournament piece proportion specifications — with the Queen at 3 inches, Bishop, Knight, and Rook at 2.75 inches each, and Pawns at 2.25 inches. The 15-inch board gives every square the piece clearance needed for comfortable serious match play across all game phases

Why Green Onyx Makes This the Most Visually Distinctive Chess Set in the Speshstones Catalog

Every other chess set in the Speshstones catalog uses stone materials that are primarily single-toned — white marble is white with subtle grey veining, black marble is uniformly deep black, travertine is warm beige-cream, oceanic marble is warm grey-brown, amber-red marble is warm caramel. Green onyx is categorically different from all of these because it is a banded multicolor stone — green, amber, cream, and translucent white appear simultaneously within every single piece and board square, in different proportions and patterns on every individual carved surface.

This banding is a genuine geological property of Pakistani green onyx — formed when silica-rich groundwater deposits alternate layers of differently colored chalcedony and calcite over thousands of years, creating the characteristic sweeping bands of color that run through the full stone body in irregular organic patterns. The polish applied to the dark squares and all 16 green onyx pieces brings the banding forward — the polished surface allows light to pass partially through the semi-translucent stone, giving each piece a warm inner color quality that no opaque stone material in the catalog replicates. In natural light the green onyx pieces and squares appear to glow with internal banded color rather than simply reflecting light from the surface.

As a unique chess set this is the only product in the Speshstones chess catalog — and one of very few natural stone chess sets available anywhere — where every piece on the dark side is genuinely one-of-a-kind. The 16 green onyx pieces each have a different banding arrangement. The 32 board squares each have a different pattern. An onyx chess set at this quality level — hand-carved Pakistani green onyx in classic Staunton form at tournament size — is not available from standard retail chess stores at any price point. As a cool chess set for a buyer who wants a natural stone board game that functions as a conversation piece and room statement rather than a generic supply purchase, the banded green onyx combination has no equivalent in the catalog.

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 more different from each other than any other material pairing in the 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. 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 a semi-translucent stone — 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. The polish applied to all 16 green onyx pieces and the green onyx dark squares brings the banding forward — the same polish that gives black marble its mirror-gloss and white marble its smooth whiteness gives green onyx its distinctive banded glow. 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 15-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 and dust 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. Pay attention to the carved detail areas of the Knight and King where the banding meets carved edges — a soft brush clears any dust that settles in the carved transitions during display periods. 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 on both board and pieces. 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 rigid carry case between sessions — the foam interior protects 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.
