Did you know?
Curling rocks, or stones, are precision sports equipment crafted from dense granite or other stone, each weighing approximately 42 pounds and fitted with a handle for controlled delivery down the ice. Their aerodynamic shape and polished running surface allow them to glide with remarkable accuracy across frozen sheets, making them central to a sport that demands both strength and finesse. The distinctive team colors—often jewel-toned hues like the ruby, gold, and blue shown here—help distinguish competitors' stones during play.
