Do they make Go equipment in unorthodox colors or out of exotic materials?

I was thinking, maybe a blue board or something. Stones made out of marble or granite?

Bowls made out of metal or stone would look pretty interesting. :mrgreen:

Yes.
Everything is possible.
Ranging from simple, raw, self/home made, to exclusive.
I've seen metal and marble boards, glass board, marble bowls, stone crafted bowls, irregular wooden bowls, rocks as stones, jade for stones, cristal floor goban, a lego go set, gem stones (well, actual pictures of it), bottle caps for stones, a board on a blanket and on a rug, etc.

The Nihon Kiin's museum has a solid glass floor-standing goban, weighing 90 kilos, if I recall.

I also brought a 15x15 traveling set with a blue board in Russia, but I can't now find it.

A Japanese woman with eye problems had dark and light green gostones made for her.

Oh, and I've played with paper and colored pencils (trying to avoid ko fights).
