Giving a whole new meaning to the term "on the rocks" is the product from a company called Sippin on the Rocks. They sell highly polished cubes made from imported granite directly from quarries in Scotland. The cubes are meant to be placed in a container in the freezer for about one or two hours then placed (definitely not tossed) into a glass and covered with whisky. The cubes are said to enhance the aroma and flavor of the liquor and cool the liquor without diluting it. The cubes come in a gift set, a walnut wood box with two granite cubes and two glasses for $75.Posts with tag granite

To me, granite counter tops are the creme de la creme of kitchen spaces but adding matching knobs is a little much. At first glance, the knobs not yet attached to the cabinetry look like pretty chess pieces but fashioned to the woodwork they make for a busy and cluttered look. The only one I think that may bring an element of sophistication to a kitchen or bathroom are the dark slate colored knobs. But I still feel like less is more.
And who would have thought to chisel granite or stone to fit a light switch? Most granite has a mottled, colorful look and in my opinion only the purist color palette would work on a wall (unless your wall is granite too which would make for a blended look). Then again I don't wear animal print or plaid so maybe my tastes lean towards monochromatic schemes. In any case, I would leave the granite and stone to counter tops and quarries and keep it off the cabinets and walls.
