I don't mean to alarm you, but it looks like some of your marshmallows have garnet inclusions.
All joking aside, these look great! I like how they're not all sharp and angular like most commercially available whiskey stones.

And they can be custom made to order. If you want square cubes, round cubes, triangle cubes, it can all be made.
I would like to see a set of "natural" looking stones. The color isn't a big concern and it wouldn't matter if all were the same color or not. I'm still interested and plan to order a set or more.

Thanks! Keep in mind these are very much still in their infancy.
Think of them as a prototype. You guys have the very batch of whiskey rocks!
If any changes need to be made; smaller, larger, more smooth, rounded more, different shape... just let me know.

I see nothing at all wrong with them. They are larger than the ones I received for Christmas last year, so a couple of these should work for a drink. I would think cold rocks is cold rocks. I'll let you know after my "research" this weekend.

"research". good one.

I have been watching this thread with some interest.
I received a handful of these granite-stone whisky rocks as a gift from a friend several years back ..
The one thing I would offer, and it is my observation and preference, is that I prefer one large rock to several smaller ones. The reason is that the smaller rocks warm up much too quickly, whereas the larger rock will stay cold longer and transfer more cold to the liquid.
You do a nice job, heef - that is a lot of work and I am impressed!

good thought there Andy.
Heefage, i would be interested in comparing. you mind making a 2 1/2" square granite rock with that same dark coloring? what would you expect the cost to be? thanks.
Just got in and mine were sitting one the table. Even your second batch if pictures dont do these justice. Im finding them the perfect excuse to pour another jigger. They work, but more of them, that are smaller might cool quicker, and freeze faster as well. Besides, people would need more on hand to cool off the next beverage. If you decide to make a mini batch, ill take a double

Whiskey Rocks! (Part Deus) 
I have 8 sets available. The pictures are posted below. Im going to to go through the posts here and see who wanted what. There are a couple of people who said they wanted a set, but I couldn't get hold of them for shipping addresses.
If you are able to receive PMs or emails you can expect a message some time during the day.
The next batch will be more tailor made to yalls preferences, so if you don't want the set I have available you can expect the next batch in a couple of weeks.
I took the pictures with the stones wet so you can see the color and detail of each one.
Thanks again for the interest and enjoy!

Those are the ones I had picked out for you. I tried to make them natural looking, but the granite we deal with is cut from the quarry about 1 1/4'' thick, so they still have a somewhat square shape.
