Stone as core material
Just read about the Zai Hublot All Black ski. (Can't post a link since this is my first post. Forum rule to prevent spam) It has a stone core made of gneiss.
Has anyone here experimented with anything remotely like that?

If you look at Hublots watches they are mostly made of unconventional materials like ceramic, tantalum and tungsten. I don’t know the E-Modulus of gneiss but the skis are most likely just a big showoff for Hublot and another p***s enlarge for people with too much money.
I was more interested if anyone was/have been experimenting whit anything outside the box as core material. Not just the usual wood and the occasional foam.
