Stone Tangram

The pieces have a nice heft to them that makes the whole thing feel more like a keepsake than a toy. I've already spent an evening trying to build the swan from the guide, and the stone surfaces slide together satisfyingly. My desk feels a little classier just having the box out.

The little stones have a lovely weight to them, and that smooth, cool feel in your hand makes each piece feel genuinely special. I've already lost an hour trying to build a swan, and the tactile quality honestly makes it more satisfying than any plastic puzzle I've owned.

The colors on these seven semi-precious stones are so vivid that each animal I assemble looks more like a little artwork than a puzzle. I've spent an entire evening just running through the figure booklet, and the smooth, cool touch of the pieces makes it oddly meditative.
