Description: Slate and Shell Go StonesSize 34 (9.5 mm) - Snow (Yuki) Grade175 - White Stones181 - Black StonesSized 34, Snow Grade, Slate and Shell Stones. The set contains 175 White and 181 Black stones.Snow grade stones make up about 10% of production and are typically cut from the base of the shell. They are highly sought after for their beauty and fine grain.As an added bonus I'm including a pair of beautiful Karin bowls and a paulownia box.Sizes 34 - 35 strike an excellent balance between the aesthetic sizes 32 and 33 and the hefty Sizes 36 - 40Please note that the Kaya board in the photo is for photography purposes only, and is not included in this auction.All photographs were taken by myself and, with the exception of the imitation leather board, are of the set listed. As a Go enthusiast, I believe it's important for a seller to provide accurate, up to date photos rather than from generic stock or borrowed from other auctions.---------------------------------------------Slate and Shell are the premier in fine quality Go Equipment. The shell stones in this auction were harvested from Mexican clams and carefully worked into the beautiful pieces they are now in Hyuga City, Japan. The slate is the finest nachiguro, mined from Japan's Wakayama prefecture.Aside from brand new sets, I take time to carefully clean each individual Slate and Shell stone.

I understand that my auctions are for serious players and collectors. I'm very careful about properly packaging anything I send (please check my feedback, many have commented on this). As a side note, I'm an avid player of Go (KGS username Erythen), so I understand what it means to have your items arrive in good condition...not haphazardly thrown into a box.2. I will happily combine shipping on multiple items. If you're interested in more than one auction, please contact me about combined shipping.3. Returns are accepted but only if they're returned in the same condition shipped in. In addition, the item must be returned from a smoke free environment. Stones, bowls and boards are valuable, and the smell and residue of tobacco, even a little, can significantly diminish their luster and value. LS-1
