Cored Olympic Curling Stone Blue Hone Granite

Description

The cored curling stone is a unique way to embrace the sport of curling. If you watch closely during the Olympics you will see that every championship curling stone is actually made up of two different kinds of granite. The running surface, or part of the stone that touches the ice is made from Blue Hone Granite. That is the part of the stone that is missing in this purchase. Blue Hone granite is a very fine grain, that is perfect for sliding on the ice and not absorbing any moisture. The problem with this kind of granite is that it doesn't hold up very well over time as the rocks crash into one another. So the best of both worlds comes into play at events like the Olympics. They cut out the middle of old Blue Hone stones, cut them into slices, and then stick them into the bottom of stones from a different granite.
