Choosing From Among the Various Types of Stone Chess Sets
Chess is a game that many people from every walk of life enjoying playing. Because of this, game pieces are created from many different materials, ensuring that there is one suitable for everyone. The various types of stone chess sets that are available for purchase vary nearly as widely as there is stone capable of being carved. The most popular of these are marble and alabaster.
Of all the various types the most common would have to be the marble sets. They come in many colors, limited only in the color of marble that is available. Painstakingly detailed, these beautifully carved pieces lend an air of grace and sophistication to any room, particularly when combined with a marble chessboard. Each piece is exquisitely handcrafted, taking hours to complete just one piece to the artisans' satisfaction.
After shopping the various types many people naturally gravitate to the marble chess sets. They have a wonderful tactile impression. They carry more weight than other stone chess pieces, and they stay cool in your hands. The extra weight makes them a bit more stable and easier to place in strategic locations. The simple beauty is another reason for their purchase. A good artisan can give each piece such intricate detail that it is nearly impossible not to notice the swirls from the grain in the marble as it runs through your fingers.
Of the other various types of boards and game pieces the alabaster are some of the most beautiful. They have a translucent quality to them that many people find appealing. When carved into beautiful chess sets, they bring a warm look to any décor with their intricate detailing and fine shiny surface.
Since alabaster can be notorious for shipping and marring, it is important to know what, if any, treatments the alabaster set you are purchasing has had. Care must be taken if you are planning on keeping the set as a treasured heirloom or even an investment. As any frequent chess player will tell you, taking care of any chess set properly is important.
No matter which of the various types of stone chess sets that you purchase, you will be pleased with the craftsmanship involved, the beautiful detailing, the weight of the pieces, and the beauty they shed to any home. Simply do a little research before purchasing and you will be happy for many years to come.

How to get sharpie off marble?
I bought a marble chess set from a thrift store for 4 dollars!. Unfortunately, it was the type that writes the prices on everything with sharpie. Is there any way to get it off?
Thanks!
The best thing I have found to take a sharpie off is the mr.clean magic eraser. It works miracles. I have two boys under 5 that got a hold of my husbands sharpie and drew on the walls... it worked great!!
