Travertine & Green Onyx Chess Pieces — 3.5" Handmade Natural Stone Chess Figures Set of 32

Care Instructions

Green onyx pieces (all 16 figures): Wipe the semi-translucent polished surfaces with a soft damp microfibre cloth after each game session to remove fingerprint oils and dust. The refractive quality of the green onyx surface — the property that produces its semi-translucent visual depth — is most visible when the stone is clean. A routine damp cloth wipe after play maintains the visual depth and the clarity of the flowing banding on every carved figure. For deeper cleaning, use mild pH-neutral soap with a soft cloth, rinse with clean water, and dry immediately with a soft cloth. Do not leave water pooled on any stone surface.

Natural travertine pieces (all 16 figures): Use a soft-bristle brush with mild pH-neutral soap and warm water to clean the natural surface pitting across every travertine chess figure. The heavy open pitting on genuine travertine collects fine dust and skin oils during regular play and display — a soft brush clears the pitting channels on three-dimensional carved surfaces without scratching the matte stone. Pay particular attention to the travertine knight's horse head and face carving, the queen's crown point recesses, and the pawn's small sphere top where pitting concentration is highest. Rinse with clean water and dry immediately.

Both stone types: Do not use vinegar, lemon juice, citrus-based cleaners, or bleach on any surface — these permanently etch and dull both green onyx and natural travertine. Acidic cleaners specifically reduce the surface refractive quality of green onyx — the semi-translucent visual depth that makes the stone distinctive is produced by the polished surface condition; etching permanently degrades this property. Do not use abrasive cloths, steel wool, or scrubbing pads on any carved surface. Handle the knight pieces with particular care — the horse head carving is the most detailed three-dimensional form in the set and the carved neck is the thinnest structural element on any natural stone chess piece. Apply a food-safe penetrating stone sealer to all 32 marble chess pieces once or twice per year to protect both stone surfaces and maintain the surface clarity and translucency of the green onyx long-term. For outdoor use, bring all pieces inside during extended heavy rain.
