Seastone/diamond alloy, anyone?

two possible factors... rarity and how easy it is to work with
Seastone has been said to be very rare; as useful as it is, you don't find many that have a weapon made out of it... the marines seem to use of their seastone in the creation of ships for the calm belt, prisons, and nets... not to mention that smoker may have a weapon with seastone, but only enough to cover the tip of it... but if the marines have that much, they should be able to spare enough for a few cyborgs...
how easy it is to work with is another possible factor... can it be melted down and shaped like a metal or is more like a diamond which is a stone that is very hard to work with... the ships may not have bottoms made OUT of seastone, but normal bottoms that are lined with seastone
if you consider seastone more like something like diamond then a metal, then it becomes easier to understand why you would not see a sword made out of seastone; just as it would be impossible to make a sword out of diamond... and armor would also be too difficult to make out of diamond
