A 3mm stone is 3mm large. Isn't that like asking what color is a blue bird?

it means millimeter.
there are 25 millimeters in a inch, so a 3 mm stone is roughly 1/8th of a inch.

∙ 12y agoI'm assuming what you actually meant was "Is a 13mm kidney stone large?" and to that question I say yes. Absolutely. Any stone over 5mm needs to be broken up or it will create a blockage somewhere in your ureter and your whole system will get backed up and you can actually die from this if it is not treated properly.
I have had several stones all around 4mm and they were unbearably painful. I don't even want to imagine what a 13mm stone would feel like.
