Black & Fossil Coral Marble Chess Set with Storage Box — 15-Inch Handmade

A patterned fossil coral set is worth protecting when it's off the table — and this one comes with the case to do it. This black and fossil coral marble chess set includes a fitted PU-leather storage case that holds the board and all 32 pieces, each in its own slot, with a carry handle and latching lid. The board is black-dominant, with light squares of fossil coral marble — a natural stone carrying the fossilized markings of ancient coral, so the light stone isn't a flat color but a pattern. It's a full 15-inch board with 32 hand-carved pieces, and no two boards carry the same markings.

What makes this black & fossil coral marble chess set with storage different

A fitted carry case for the whole set

The case is the reason to choose this version over the board-only one. It's a hard-body case with a PU synthetic leather exterior, a carry handle, and a latching lid — and inside, a fitted tray with an individual slot for each of the 32 pieces, plus room for the board. The pieces travel without knocking together, the set stows out of sight between games, and the whole thing carries like a briefcase.

Fossil coral marble — a patterned natural stone

The light stone is fossil coral marble, which carries the fossilized markings of ancient coral — small ring- and flower-like patterns set into the stone. It's what separates this set from a plain black-and-white: the light squares and pieces have a natural pattern with real geological history, and no two carry the same markings.

Black-dominant board

The board leads with black — a black field and border — with the patterned fossil coral squares set into it. The dark ground makes the fossil markings stand out and gives the board a warmer, more characterful look than stark black-and-white.

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 doubly safe in the case

Every piece has its own felt bottom and the board has an attached felt base — and in the case, each piece also sits in its own slot. Between the felt and the fitted tray, the set is protected both on the table and in storage.

Backed by a piece-replacement service

Stone can chip if a piece is dropped on a hard floor. If that happens, RADICALn will source a matching replacement in the same black or fossil coral marble — so a single damaged piece doesn't retire the set.

With storage vs without

The honest trade-off: the storage case adds cost and packed weight over the board-only version, and a marble set is heavy either way — 17 pounds of stone plus the case is not something you'll carry far often. But if you want the patterned set protected and stowed between games, or moved room to room without handling 32 loose pieces, the fitted case earns its place. Prefer to save the cost and keep it set up? The no-storage version is the same set without the case.

Product specifications

How to care for your marble chess set

1. Set the board on a flat surface — its weight keeps it stable once placed.
2. Handle the pieces by the body, not the fine tops, which are the most delicate part of any carved stone piece.
3. Wipe board and pieces with a soft, dry or barely-damp cloth; skip soap and harsh cleaners.
4. Store the pieces in the case slots 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. Keep the PU-leather case dry too.

Materials and craftsmanship

Every piece and board square is hand-carved and hand-polished from natural marble — black marble for the dark pieces and board field, fossil coral marble for the light pieces and squares. Fossil coral is a natural stone bearing the fossilized remains of ancient coral, which gives the light squares their distinctive ring- and flower-like markings. Because the stone is natural, that pattern varies from set to set. The storage case has a hard body with a PU synthetic leather exterior and a fitted interior tray.

A note on natural stone: no two sets match, and yours won't be a pixel-perfect copy of the photo. That variation — and the fossil markings — is the stone, not a flaw. Marble is porous by nature, which is why the surfaces are polished and why the set should be kept dry.

Care instructions

• Wipe stone 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, and keep the PU-leather case dry.
• Handle pieces by the body, not the carved tops.
• Store pieces in the case slots so edges don't chip.
• Don't let acids sit on the stone; they can etch marble.
• Lift the board, don't drag it — at 17 pounds it will scuff a surface if slid.

Who this is for

• Anyone drawn to fossil coral who also wants the set protected and stowable.
• Players who move the set around and want the pieces safe in transit.
• Gift buyers — the case makes it a complete, self-contained gift, and the fossil coral makes it a distinctive one.
• Collectors of natural-stone pieces who value that no two boards' fossils are alike.

Good for: housewarmings, weddings, and Christmas or milestone gifts.
