how much is a curling stone

A single competition-grade granite curling stone typically costs around 500–800 USD, with Olympic-certified stones often quoted at a little over 600 USD each.

Quick Scoop

For a clear picture, it helps to separate types of curling stones:

  • Club / competition granite stones (new): Commonly in the 500–800 USD per stone range.
  • Olympic-certified stones: Reported at “over 600 USD” per stone, so a full set of 16 is about 9,600 USD.
  • Full new set for a club (16 stones): Roughly 8,500–13,000 USD depending on brand and granite.
  • High-end / famous makers (Kays of Scotland, etc.): These supply all Olympic stones and are considered the premium option in the sport.
  • Remanufactured sets for clubs: One Canadian supplier lists remanufactured granite sets from about 5,000–7,800 (for 16 stones), which works out to a much lower per-stone cost than buying brand new.

So if you’re just wondering “how much is a curling stone?”, a realistic modern ballpark is about 600 USD per stone , and more if you want top-end Olympic-level granite.
