Yep, it was/is a popular style of chess set pieces in Central America/Mexico ostensibly mostly for tourists.
Had a marble/onyx set that likewise, my folks got in Mexico before I was born. My grandma cast a replacement pawn out of plastic when one broke so we always had this super lightweight and off color pawn.
