It’s truly fascinating how light and flexible stone can be. This large sphere weighs more than 6 tons – and yet it can float. Even a child can move it with a small shove. To accomplish this, a high-precision shaping of the sphere and the bowl is necessary. Between the two, there’s nothing but a very thin film of water. The water is injected through a nozzle, and the angle of injection alone ensures the movement of the ball.
These floating spheres are manufactured in our region and have long been a worldwide bestseller. Such innovative products, as well as the professional service and personalized consulting offered, are factors that help keep the regional granite industry thriving.
The Granite Center wants to do its part to ensure that our regional “gemstone” granite retains the appreciation it deserves. I hope you can feel this here. Thank you for your interest and please feel free to return, perhaps to one of our events, which aren’t only about stone. Our Granite Center is very open to a wide variety of event formats, both indoors and out.
If you’d like to know more, please come and see us at the reception. God bless, it’s been an honor, and goodbye!
