Stone or rock
CLDR files the emoji under rock as well as stone, and rock is no mistake. By Wikipedia the polished granite stones are also called rocks, and its glossary of curling defines stone in two words: a rock. A search for stone also finds Rock and Gem stone.
Next to the bullseye
Curling stone came in Emoji 5.0 and is printed between Sled and Bullseye. The second neighbour suits it: the target in curling is a set of rings called the house, and the glossary calls its centre, the button, a bullseye. On the button is the stone and a button.
By the glossary the hammer is the last rock of an end, a huge advantage. Here it is a hammer and a stone.
Wikipedia lists two nicknames for the sport, chess on ice and the roaring game. Both are terms here.
Questions and answers

It is the stone that slides down the ice in curling. By Wikipedia two teams of four take turns sliding stones toward a circular target, and each team throws eight of them in an end.
What is a curling stone made of?
Granite. Wikipedia names two sources for it: Ailsa Craig, an island off the coast of Scotland, and a quarry at Trefor in Wales. The combo Cut from granite puts Rock before the stone.

How this list was compiled: Built on 2026-10-08 from sources read that day. The emoji, their names, code points and Emoji version numbers are from the Unicode emoji list, version 18.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/emoji/emoji-test.txt); names are the CLDR short names printed in that file. Search words are from the CLDR English annotations (https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotations/en.xml and https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/main/common/annotationsDerived/en.xml). Curling stone is U+1F94C, Emoji 5.0, in the subgroup sport: Sled is printed before it and Bullseye after it. CLDR gives it four search words (curling, game, rock, stone), files no other emoji under curling, lists Rock, Curling stone and Gem stone under stone, and lists Broom alone under broom and sweeping. The names Bullseye and Fisheye are from UnicodeData.txt, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt); DerivedAge.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt) dates U+1F94C to Unicode 10.0, and the emoji has no text style row in https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/emoji/emoji-variation-sequences.txt. The sport (two teams of four, polished granite stones also called rocks, the circular target called the house, two sweepers with brooms or brushes, eight stones a team in an end, a stone short of the far hog line being hogged, the granite of Ailsa Craig and of Trefor, the nicknames chess on ice and the roaring game, late medieval Scotland) is from Wikipedia, Curling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curling, CC BY-SA 4.0). That the name is formed from the verb curl, the motion of the stone, and that a gentle turn on release gives the curved path called curl, are from the same article. The terms button, house, hammer, stone, end, hurry hard, takeout and guard are as Wikipedia, Glossary of curling, defines them (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_curling); bonspiel is from Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bonspiel, CC BY-SA 4.0).
