Curling stones are made of a very specific type of granite mined from one of two quarries in the United Kingdom: Ailsa Craig, a small island off the coast of Scotland, and Trefor Quarry in Wales.
Curling stones are made by a company called Kays of Scotland, which is located in southwest Scotland. The granite that the company uses to make the stones is mined from Ailsa Craig, a small island off the west coast of Scotland. Curling stones are also made in Canada by Canadian Curling Stone Co., which uses granite from Trefor quarry in Wales, U.K.

Granite does not scratch easily. You can scratch granite with other granite or a tool designed to cut granite but that is about it. Cutting directly on your granite is not recommended as it can dull your knife but it should not create scratches in the stone.
