> I own one $180 "Conquistador" (as I call it) chess set that has authentic-looking Indian (turquoise-colored) and Spanish (kinda white quartzish) pieces. I don't really use it, I just keep it out because it looks cool. The $5 plastic chess sets I own are much more functionable.

My dad has a really neat black marble and white quartz (I think it's quartz) set. It's from a trip he took to Mexico as a kid. All the pieces are very square and squat, and they remind me of Hawaiian tikis. I don't know if it's valuable (probably not, because he had to repair some of the pieces), but it is *so* neat to look at.
