  White Go stones are made from Mexican clam shells.
  ＊Our black Go stones are 0.3 mm large thicker and 0.3 mm large diameter than the same size of white Go stones.
  The reason is that white is an expanded color, so when you see white Go stones and black Go stones of the same diameter and thickness with the human eye, the black Go stones look a little smaller.
  So we adjusted them so that they look the same size.
