What Makes Radicaln Different
Description
Most stone chess sets are opaque marble; this one has a stone that catches the light. This green onyx and white marble chess set leads with green onyx — a translucent, banded stone that glows softly where light passes through it — set against white marble. It's a green-onyx-dominant board, a full 15-inch board with 32 hand-carved pieces at 17 pounds, and because onyx is a natural banded stone, no two boards carry the same pattern of green.
15" × 15" board · 32 marble & onyx pieces · king 3.5" · 17 lb · felt-backed board & pieces · green-onyx-dominant with white marble · free US shipping · 30-day returns
What's included: 1 × 15-inch green onyx & white marble board (attached felt base) · 32 hand-carved Staunton pieces — 2 kings, 2 queens, 4 bishops, 4 knights, 4 rooks, 16 pawns · individual felt bottoms for all 32 pieces · RADICALn fragile-safe packaging · piece-replacement service.
What makes this green onyx & white marble chess set different
Translucent green onyx
The dominant stone is green onyx — and unlike opaque marble, onyx is translucent, so it glows softly where light passes through it and shows the natural banding that runs through the stone. That translucency is what sets this apart from every marble set: the green squares and pieces have a depth and a glow a solid stone can't match, and no two are alike.
Green-onyx-dominant board, white marble accent
The board leads with green onyx — a green onyx field and border — with white marble squares set into it. The banded green onyx is the star; the white marble gives clean contrast so the board reads clearly for play.
Full tournament-scale pieces
The 32 pieces are carved to a proper playing scale: the king stands 3.5 inches, the queen 3, down to 2.5-inch pawns, on 1.5-inch squares. That's a set you actually play on — the pieces have weight in the hand and stand up to a real game.
Felt-protected, and backed by a replacement service
The board has an attached felt base, and every one of the 32 pieces comes with its own felt bottom (in a separate packet) — protecting your table and the pieces from scuffing. And if a piece ever chips, RADICALn's piece-replacement service will source a match in the same green onyx or white marble, so one damaged piece doesn't retire the set.
Natural stone, no two alike
Each piece and every board square is hand-carved and hand-polished from natural stone, and because green onyx is a banded natural stone, the pattern and translucency vary from piece to piece. Yours won't be a copy of the photo — the green onyx in your board is unique to it.
Marble vs the usual chess sets
| Onyx & marble (this) | Opaque marble set | Wood | Plastic | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Translucent, catches light | Yes — green onyx glows | No — opaque | No | No |
| Weight keeps pieces stable | Yes — 17 lb stone | Yes | Lighter | Very light |
| Each set unique | Yes — natural banding | Yes — veining | Grain varies | Identical |
| Full playing scale (3.5" king) | Yes | Usually | Varies | Often small |
The honest trade-off: a stone set costs more than wood or plastic and it's heavy — 17 pounds is not a travel set, and the pieces are stone, so a hard knock can chip an edge the way it would any natural stone. What you get is a board that stays out as a piece of the room, pieces with real weight, and translucent green onyx that catches the light in a way no opaque marble set can.

How to care for your marble chess set
- Set the board on a flat surface — its weight keeps it stable once placed.
- Handle the pieces by the body, not the fine tops, which are the most delicate part of any carved stone piece.
- Wipe board and pieces with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth; skip soap and harsh cleaners.
- Store the pieces wrapped or in a lined box so they don't knock against each other.
Note: natural stone is porous — keep it dry, and don't let liquids sit on the board.
Materials and craftsmanship
Every piece and board square is hand-carved and hand-polished from natural stone — green onyx for the dark pieces and board field, white marble for the light pieces and squares. Green onyx is a translucent banded stone, which is why it glows in the light and shows movement through it; the white marble gives a clean, opaque contrast. Because the stone is natural, the green onyx's banding varies from set to set.
A note on natural stone: no two sets match, and yours won't be a pixel-perfect copy of the photo. That variation is the stone, not a flaw. Marble and onyx are porous by nature, which is why the surfaces are polished and why the set should be kept dry.
Care instructions
- Wipe with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth. Skip soap, which porous stone can absorb.
- Keep it dry — don't let liquids stand on the board.
- Handle pieces by the body, not the carved tops.
- Store pieces protected — wrapped or in a lined box so edges don't chip.
- Don't let acids sit on the stone; they can etch marble and onyx.
- Lift the board, don't drag it — at 17 pounds it will scuff a surface if slid.
Who this is for
- Players who want something beyond opaque marble — a translucent stone that catches the light.
- Anyone drawn to green onyx and its glow and banding.
- Collectors of natural-stone pieces who value that no two boards' onyx is alike.
- Gift buyers — a marble and onyx chess set is a substantial, lasting gift, and the green onyx makes it a distinctive one.
Good for: housewarmings, weddings, and Christmas or milestone gifts.
