What Makes Radicaln Different
Description
This white and green onyx chess pieces set is hand-carved from natural white marble and genuine green onyx — the rarest stone in the RADICALn collection. This listing includes pieces only; no board is included. It is designed for buyers who already own a chess board and want a distinctive natural stone piece set, or who are pairing pieces with a board purchased separately.
32 hand-polished pieces · No board included · King 3.5 in · Fits 16–20 inch boards · Free US shipping · 30-day returns
What's Included in This White & Green Onyx Chess Pieces Set
- 32 × hand-carved natural stone chess pieces — 2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Bishops, 4 Knights, 4 Rooks, and 16 Pawns — 16 pieces in bright white marble and 16 in natural green onyx — each individually hand-carved to Staunton form and hand-polished to a smooth finish
- No board included. This is a pieces-only listing. The pieces are sized to fit standard 16 to 20 inch chess boards.
- Individual felt bottoms for all 32 pieces — a separate felt bottom packet included for every piece, preventing contact scratching during play and storage
- RADICALn branded secure fragile packaging — purpose-built for natural stone transit
- Piece replacement service — if any piece is ever chipped or damaged, contact us and we will source a matching replacement from the same green onyx or white marble variety

Built for Buyers Who Already Have a Board — Or Want a Bigger One
This pieces-only listing exists for three specific buyers: someone who already owns a chess board and wants to upgrade to genuine natural stone pieces without replacing the board itself; someone who wants to pair these pieces with a larger 16 to 20 inch board — outside the 15-inch size RADICALn's own complete sets use — for a more dramatic full-size display; and someone replacing a lost or damaged piece from an existing green onyx set. Green onyx is the rarest stone in the RADICALn collection, a variety of chalcedony with a natural semi-translucency that shifts between forest green, amber, and cream depending on the light — the same rarity and craft as our complete chess sets, available here without committing to a matching board.
At $75.85, this is also one of the more accessible ways to bring genuine green onyx into your home if you already have a board you're happy with and don't need RADICALn's board as well.
Display Pieces, Replacement Sets, and Custom Board Pairings
Beyond gameplay, a set of 32 hand-carved green onyx and white marble pieces is striking simply displayed on a shelf or mantel, arranged without a board at all — many buyers treat chess pieces as standalone sculptural objects. For buyers building a custom setup, these pieces pair well with any 16 to 20 inch board in a complementary stone or finish, giving more flexibility than a fixed board-and-piece set.
As a gift, this is the right choice for someone who already owns a chess board and would appreciate an upgrade to genuine natural stone pieces, a collector building a piece collection across different stone varieties, or a replacement gift for someone whose existing set is missing pieces.
Materials & Craftsmanship — White Marble and Green Onyx, Handmade
Green onyx is a variety of chalcedony — microcrystalline quartz — that forms in geological bands producing a characteristic multi-tonal coloring: forest green as the base tone, warming to amber, cream, and occasional orange-red depending on the specific section of stone. The stone is naturally semi-translucent, giving green onyx pieces a depth of color that changes with the viewing angle and light source throughout the day. No two green onyx pieces in any set carry the same tonal combination.
The white pieces are carved from natural white marble, providing the clean, bright contrast that allows the green onyx tones to read fully. Every piece is individually hand-carved to Staunton form and hand-polished after carving. The green onyx color variation in your set will differ from the product photography because the specific banding cross-section of each piece depends on where it was cut from the original stone block.

How to Care for Your White & Green Onyx Chess Pieces
- Cleaning: Wipe pieces with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. Do not leave water sitting on the green onyx surfaces — the stone is porous enough to absorb moisture over time despite being harder than standard marble.
- What to avoid: Never use acid-based cleaners — vinegar, lemon juice, bleach, or standard household sprays permanently damage both green onyx and white marble. Use only a dry cloth for regular maintenance or a pH-neutral stone cleaner.
- Preserving the green onyx tone: The multi-tonal green, amber, and cream tones of green onyx can shift with prolonged direct sunlight. Position pieces away from direct window light for long-term tonal preservation.
- Storage: Store pieces separated in soft cloth bags between uses to prevent contact scratching between the green onyx and white marble pieces.
- Handling: Green onyx is harder than standard marble but can fracture if dropped from height. Contact us if a piece is damaged — our replacement service will source a matching green onyx or white marble replacement.

This set includes 32 hand-carved natural stone chess pieces — 16 in bright white marble and 16 in natural green onyx (2 Kings, 2 Queens, 4 Bishops, 4 Knights, 4 Rooks, and 16 Pawns) — individual felt bottoms for all 32 pieces, and RADICALn branded secure fragile packaging. No board and no storage box are included.
These pieces are sized to fit standard 16 to 20 inch chess boards — a wider range than RADICALn's own 15-inch complete sets, making this pieces-only listing well suited to pairing with larger boards purchased separately.
Per the official RADICALn size guide: King — 3.5 inches (0.21 lb), Queen — 3 inches (0.19 lb), Bishop — 2.75 inches (0.14 lb), Knight — 2.75 inches (0.14 lb), Rook — 2.75 inches (0.19 lb), Pawn — 2.25 inches (0.15 lb). The complete set of 32 pieces weighs 3.5 lbs.
This pieces-only listing suits three buyers: someone who already owns a chess board they're happy with and wants to upgrade to genuine natural stone pieces; someone pairing pieces with a larger 16 to 20 inch board purchased separately; and someone replacing a lost or damaged piece set. It's also a more accessible way to own genuine green onyx if you don't need a matching RADICALn board.
Green onyx is a variety of chalcedony — microcrystalline quartz, not standard marble. Its multi-tonal colouring (forest green with amber, cream, and occasional orange-red) comes from trace mineral deposits. The stone is naturally semi-translucent, so light penetrates it rather than simply reflecting off the surface — this means a green onyx piece can appear forest green at one angle and warm amber at another.
These pieces are sized for 16 to 20 inch boards, which is larger than RADICALn's standard 15-inch boards. For pieces specifically matched to a 15-inch RADICALn board, see our complete White & Green Onyx chess sets, which include both board and pieces sized to match.
Yes — for a chess player who already owns a board, this is a distinctive upgrade gift that introduces genuine green onyx, the rarest stone in the RADICALn collection, without requiring them to replace their existing board. It works well as a birthday or Christmas gift for someone who already has the gameplay setup they want.
Wipe pieces with a slightly damp soft cloth and dry immediately. The multi-tonal tones can shift with prolonged direct sunlight — position pieces away from direct window light. Never use acid-based cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice, bleach). Store pieces separated in soft cloth bags to prevent contact scratching between the green onyx and white marble pieces.
Yes — many buyers display chess pieces as sculptural objects on a shelf or mantel without ever setting up a board. The hand-carved Staunton forms in genuine green onyx and white marble work as a striking decorative set on their own.
