I finally found some granite 12"-square tiles that are...

...rather dead. Each is about 10mm thick, and after being trimmed to 12X11", each PAIR of tiles will weigh almost 10 pounds. I decided to use Dynamat Extreme, the thicker version of the automotive-panel-damping material to damp the tiles further. I'll roll a layer or two onto the bottom of each tile and see how they 'sound' and then glue them together with the same kind of 3M spray-on cement I used with my recent amppad project. I expect that each two-layer plate including Dynamat will weigh at least 11 pounds and ought to be REALLY dead.

Haven't yet decided how to adhere the components to the granite...maybe hotglue, maybe urethane-based windshield adhesive (below).
