Those are pieces of an onyx chess set. I used to have that exact set. Here's an example from ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/276268677793?itmmeta=01HQGDMT5HNWBF8YNWTDN1Q1D5

Amazing. 4 minute answer for something very specific. Truly incredible.
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.
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
