I bought these stones because of our game yet again which have disappeared. A very pleasant surprise, the Stones take on very beautiful, look beautiful (I wish our first game would have these stones involves) and are now not as a substitute stones, but as the main pieces in use. A nice idea is the cloth bag, which I have not seen it before, yes actually seems to be an Asian bag because as seen by me nowhere. Basically, I can only recommend these stones, great natural colors, nice size, ultra smooth and shiny.
