What type of rock are the curling stones made from in the Winter Olympic sport of curling?

Stones are only made from one place, just of the coast of ayrshire, Scotland. from an island called Ailsa Craig.

Only one option was even a rock...

bigyambo, i see Ailsa Craig every day from my window!

Dave Wheeldon I I Point no. 1. People (men or women) who engage in curling, don't wear kilts. Point no. 2. Scottish men don't wear kilts on a daily basis, just for certain activities (Weddings, Burns Night, Highland Games, Pipe Bands etc.) Point no. 3. The kilt is an item of traditional male clothing just like a Sarong worn by various men from other world cultures. Point no. 4. I doubt that men who cross-dress would be involved in curling!! You're coming across as crude and uneducated. (take another look at your grammar too!) To make it clear, I'm not a Scottish man, but an English woman with no connections to Scotland, however, I abhor injustice of all kinds.

Tannar33, Diamond is a rock as well....

I don't get that sport of course if other people like it that's okay

It’s a very strategic exciting game to watch! Really popular in Scotland and Canada. A curling 🥌 rink has just opened near me in northern England

steel and ice not being stones narrowed it down

would love to learn to play. Great strategy game like Pool..luv watching.

Player quizgirl, you must live near me in Irvine? I can see it from Irvine Beach or if I walk to Eglinton Park x

In romanian language, curling (cur ling) has a disgusting meaning...

Of course I got it wrong. 😃

Diamond was a silly option!

Player BARTEMAEUS 10, Just to say, there are Scotsmen that do wear kilts as casual-wear, it's just not thought of as proper fashion - more of a cultural heritage or a fashion statement.

Love the Q but A should include how much does it weigh?

Player quizgirl, me too! X

Extremely ridiculous question or should I say answers?

I've only known it from Canada & didn't realize it was brought over from Scotland. I certainly enjoy it more than golf!

where is dave Weldon's comment?????

The stones are in an episode of how it's made. It was more interesting than I expected it to be.

Spectraaus, diamond is not a rock. chemically it is carbon which is derived from organic material

Player quizgirl, and they weigh 42 lbs.

one sport didn't like when young. then turned 28 got fully into it.

lol even if I didn't know the answer I guess I'd just click on the only option that's a rock...

Hurry Hard!!

heck yes I luv curling

Tanya, between 38 and 44 pounds

williambuell590, not to mention no sheet of ice is the same

Efandra2003, I would say it's a lot like shuffle board, just a larger and colder playing area. I wanted to know how much a stone weighs? More information about the game would be nice.

Tannar33, Well, technically a diamond is a rock, But, could you see someone sliding a 50lb DIAMOND across the ice???? DIAMOND REALLY????

bigyambo, Off, not of

Sonicgirl, Well my my, a right wee Scots basher

Efandra2003, me either. But more power to those that do.

palitja, and diamond would be expensive to use.

If you don't like curling, fine. Don't play it, don't watch it. I can't play it, but I enjoy watching it. I find it more enjoyable than something l

Efandra2003, so glad you approve, my dear...otherwise we'd be wasting our time

bigyambo, curling granite is also taken from Trefor Granite Quarry in Wales.
