FYI: The Sport of Curling: A strange, glorious combination of shuffleboard and bowling that unites the cleaning techniques of sweeping and buffing. At its most basic level, curling is a sport where men and woman guide a 42-pound stone across a 150-foot slab of ice in efforts to get it as close as possible to the middle of a target. Curling stones are made out of a special granite that you can only find in two spots in the world; one is the Trefor Granite Quarry in Wales and the other is this uninhabited island off the coast of Scotland called Ailsa Craig. There they have this very special “blue hone” microgranite that doesn’t break when the two stones collide. This unique shatter-resistant granite is shaped and polished into curling stones that can last for decades.We encourage you to take the time to view our photos for additional item specifics and condition details ~ Thank you and may GOD Bless the USA, our Beloved Troops & Veterans!
