Coral Stone & White Marble Staunton Chess Set

Coral Stone & White Marble Staunton Chess Set Reviews



Other Picture



We have taken the most popular Staunton chess set of all time, the German Staunton, and used it for modeling our new, exclusive collection of marble chess sets. While most marble chess sets are largely decorative, this marble chess set has traditional Staunton pieces that players favor. Yet, the beauty of this unique chess set is a pleasure to view while just sitting awaiting the next game.

The coral stone and white marble is a wonderful combination creating a sharp contrast of texture and color. Coral stone is one of the most interesting and unique stones in the world. You will find a wide variety of sea shells and other fossilized marine life clearly visible in the stone. The white marble is predominately solid white but may have a small, faint splotch of another color. The endless variation of the coral stone and the fossils within it, makes each chess set unique - there are never two alike. Whether for your self or a gift for someone special, this elegant chess set will prove a favorite that will be treasured forever.
