Hey all.
The lightest lego part (of the candidates mentioned) is:
a gold coin = 0.05602 g
This measure was performed on a Mettler AE240 analytical balance. I
didn't correct for fingerprints or dust so these measures might be a
little off, but most of the pieces were new or slightly used. The coin
was new and broken off the sprue minutes before weighing.
Some other weights for your reference.
flower petal = 0.06392 g
small antenna = 0.05744 g
1x1 plate = 0.17583 g
1x1 round plate = 0.10436 g
1x8 brick = 3.06061 g
1x8 technic brk = 2.89084 g
I included the 1x8 technic and regular bricks because there was a thread
a while back about which is lighter- a technic brick or a regular
brick. I think it was about three to six months ago.
Here's a pic of the weighing process:

| Very cool. I've often thought that the small plume that attaches to a knight's helmet might be the lightest element. Any chance you could weigh one of those? - Cary "Christopher Tracey" <ctracey@enviroweb.org> wrote in message (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)

| (...) I wonder if different colors have different weights? If you could weigh the standard bricks (1x1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 2x2,3,4) Then compare, say, 2x4's of different colors, it would add to our knowledge base... Then Steve Bliss could add that to the (...)

| If anyone has access to a laboratory quality balance (scale), could you determine how much the smallest LEGO part weighs? Probably a "Control Lever" (URL) as the smallest / lightest part... Unless anyone has a different candidate?? Thanks, -Jon (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.market.shipping, lugnet.general)
