  Each of these chess set pieces are carved out of either Orange Onyx or Black Onyx.  Today, I looked up the meanings of each of these powerful and unique stones...here is what I found.

 Orange Onyx is said to stabilize and heal the root chakra, and to increase grounding and productiveness; while Black Onyx is commonly referred to as "The Stone of Self Mastery and Self Control."




This amazing chess set was a gift from my wife, Alice, for this year's Father's Day.  Each piece within the set is handmade by the world renowned stone scupltors of Tehuacan, Mexico's indigenious people.
