The Mind-Bending Material Strength Of A Prince Rupert's Drop. 🛠️🔮

Created by rapid thermal quenching, a Prince Rupert's Drop develops extreme outer compressive stress balanced by immense internal tensile stress. When compressed flat, the extreme localized pressure exceeds the yield point of the heavy-duty industrial steel equipment long before reaching the ultimate compressive failure limit of the glass. This forces the metal to undergo plastic deformation while the glass structure remains completely unphased.
