Buying Chinese-size single-convex stones
Does anyone know where I could buy Chinese-size single-convex stones online? Size 5. Can be yunzi, glass, or clay.

Re: Buying Chinese-size single-convex stones
Oh WOW, I’d LOVE such a travel set, but sadly they don’t ship to Germany … now I need to find somebody in France, Belgium, the Netherlands or so to whom I could have it delivered …

Re: Buying Chinese-size single-convex stones
Thanks, but out of those links only these are Chinese sized: http://en.aobo-shop.com/go-game-stones/ ... 60120.html (although they’re yellow color and a bit on the expensive side).

Hi!
I think it's worth to try asking them about the size you are looking for.

A friend of mine some precious stones like these, the agate I mean. He also has several other nice sets.
He (and I too) doesn't like playing with them very much. They don't feel nice between your fingers, are slippery, their beauty comes to life only on some boards, and don't feel and sound nice upon placing on the board. Do not recommend, although it does make a spectacular sight.
