curling stones
Granite ice projectiles
Curling stones are the heavy granite discs slid across ice in the sport of curling.
Each stone weighs about 40 pounds, with a handle on top for gripping during delivery.
Players slide stones toward a target while teammates sweep the ice to influence speed and direction: She released the curling stone with a gentle twist.
