Marble Chess Boards & Sets | Chess Boards

Thanks for the information, it was enlightening.

I'm a part of a marketing team that is presently marketing Armis board game. Many see Armis as the new Chess; primarily because it looks a bit like Chess from a distance and involves multiple strategies during play; it can be viewed at www.ArmisGame.com.

We have commissioned many artists to create various game sets out of all sorts of materials (wood, glass, polymer clay, metal, plastic, etc ...). This is an ongoing project, if you know of anyone that want to take advantage of this great offer please let us know. Email us at the official site only.

I got a cool stone one (marble or onyx, can't remember) when I was in Mexico for about $20. I don't play chess more than once a year, but hey, it was snazzy looking. ;)
