I was actually surprised to find the density of Limestone & 6061 Al are that close. The problem (or at least one) is that stone isn’t nearly as strong as Al. It’s not possible to make a durable throw of stone the same thickness as one of Al. That’s not to say a decent yoyo can’t be made from the material, though (especially using 3D printing like Andy).
Nice. Probably goes for any yoyo, tbh.
You wouldn’t believe it! My wife gave me my Valentine’s Day present early and it’s a stone frickin yoyo. She bought it from a crystal girl. It’s kinda nuts. It’s 30 mm width 48 mm diameter but weighs 113 grams. As far as yo-yos go it’s definitely prehistoric in nature, super thick axle, can’t do any tricks with it but it will indeed go up and down if I crank string tension and it’s very beautiful. 2/10 yoyo 12/10 thoughtful gift.
This is by far my favorite necro’d thread.
That looks amazing!
That’s amazing. I love this
The odds of your wife finding a stone yoyo out in the wild are off the chart, especially one so pretty, that is awesome, was meant to be
This thread is incredible lmao
