Go stones : Clamshell Go Stones Premium Blossom grade size 34
Clamshell Go stones are white Go stones made from clam shells.
Generally, the thickness of Go stones that are said to be “easiest to play” is “size 30 to 36", so a Go stone of size 34 (thickness: approx. 9.5 mm) is both reasonably thick and easy to use.
