Nothing wrong with giving it a shot. If you pull it off I’d buy one off you. Seems like they’d be pretty inexpensive to make once you got it down.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to ding it. It cracks easily and very sharply.

I’ve seen obsidian shards, if you dinged an obsidian yoyo, you would make a razor sharp, hand decapitating, wheel of death…

yeah, actually it is a property of obsidian. When broken, the shards actually almost reach a MOLECULAR sharpness. scary stuff.

You’d have to coat it in something. I was thinking clear resin.

Crystal, Marble, Fiberglass, Obsidian…all awesome ideas.
Life threatening Obsidian yoyo? I would seriously take 3 of those. Its freakin Volcanic Glass yo. You could name the yoyo The Volcano!..Or better yet “The Infinity” because of the way you can stare deep into obsidian almost endlessly like into the ocean or into space.

Historic rebound!
I asked chat gpt about the history of the yo-yo and he told me that in the past they were made of wood and…stone!
and here I am trying to find a modern example of them 🙂
I seriously believe that someone with sufficient means and capabilities should try to create stone or mineral yo-yos.
It would be very interesting and a great collection piece.
All the best!
