I have this exact same chess set made out of stone. My father brought it back to the U.S. after visiting Guatemala where He and my Mothered adopted my sister.

Did he find it in an old temple in the jungle?
Quite possibly, he’s a man of mystery
Chess pieces made out of stone. Stone is not recyclable or biodegradable or compostable. If you throw them in the landfill they will be there for millions of years. This is a pretty minor spill though.
It's really disgusting how people just toss their old used stones out into the wilderness like they're just rocks or something... Smh damn litterbugs
Microstone is everywhere. Soon most of the planet’s beaches will be covered with teeny tiny rocks.
And now we've got microstone pollution everywhere 😔 such a shame
New description for sand has been unlocked.
microstone pollution
A.k.a. sand? It's terrible stuff. It's coarse and irritating, and it gets everywhere...
Probably not crossing the blood-brain barrier or placenta, I'll give it that. But yes it can get itchy
The ocean is full of it and our beaches are awash with the stuff.
One time I ate a spoonful of microstone. Gross
I spilled chess pieces all over myself while in the parking lot getting in my car & a black teenager shouted "This brother playin' chess!" And everybody laughed.
holy hell

They are chess pieces, and this image pains me. I have this set and am missing the pawn in the center of the picture.
Ask op to collect them and send it to you :)
I'd get some soapstone and carve one, they look pretty rudimentary. Even a bumblefuck like me could manage it.
OP, we need some GPS coordinates over here.
It's remains of an ancient fort, for ants
Isn't there a rule here about no dumbass joke answers? There should be.
I guess I just miss my friend…
How can you be so obtuse?!
Thought they were chess pieces and was pleasantly surprised to see someone confirmed it
I was thinking ancient dalic chess peices
Yea. That was my first reaction too.
I have this chess set.
I had it as a kid. Mexican souvenir set of onyx.
Same. Parents brought a set back with them for me. Black and white.
