A hard heat injection.
Granite is often used as a by-word for the strong and hard.
As such, it’s incredible to think that this crystalline mass was once molten and injected into swarms of cracks within the existing Gneiss bedrock under great pressure, as a result of violent periods of volcanic and tectonic activity.

Granite has long been used in applications where toughness and durability are required.
From the buildings of Aberdeen to the columns of the Pantheon.
Kerb stones, road cobbles, work surfaces in fashionable kitchens and of course curling stones all come to be made from it.
Granite actually feels like a crystalline fragment of volcanic time to work with.
Its warm hues carry echos of its fiery birth and it remind us, angrily in sparks and lights as our diamonds cut it, of the molten Earth upon which we’re lucky enough to live and how we should be thankful for it.
Bless this solid granite and all who stand on it.
