Not all massage stones are equal! Basalt is the preferred stone for hot stone massage because of it's unique ability to retain heat for longer periods of time than any other type of stone. This is because natural basalt has a very high iron and magnesium content. Let's imagine a piece of steel that has been exposed to the natural elements for any length of time. The elements combine to create what we know as rust. When the rust is removed by scraping, grinding, or sanding, the surface of the exposed steel changes in color, texture, and the overall appearance. Because of the high iron content of natural basalt, rusted steel is much like the surface of natural basalt stones that have been exposed to the elements for 100's and 1000's of years. An oxidized crust can form on the natural basalt. This crust changes the color, texture and overall appearance of the stone Our stones are very unique in that we have developed a proprietary abrasive wash process that gently scrubs away the surface of the stone to remove the outer crust. This means the stones you receive have been through our specially developed, multi-step process, to remove this outer crust leaving the surface more consistent in texture and smoother to the touch, but NOT polished like tumbling will do. Polished stones should NEVER be used for hot stone massage because when combined with oil, they can be VERY slippery and dangerous. With over 25 years in the natural stone industry, we have extensive knowledge of natural basalt stones. There are several massage therapists that sell stones part time, massage supply dealers that do drop shipping, and various others selling stones said to be for hot stone massage, but at RubRocks, massage stones are ALL we do.

Disappointed - not as pictured!
Disappointed - the stones were not as shown in the picture. The photo shows smooth black stones, similar to others I have purchases. What I received were irregular in size, shape, color and texture.

never got my order
I ordered a stone set directly from rubrock.com and was charged for it. Two weeks after ordering I hadn't received them, when I contacted them it took them a week to get back to me. They said there was problem with their system and they would send my order out by the end of the week. No problem thing happen. Then Two more weeks go by and I still didn't have my order. I tried to get in touch with them a second time but this time they never responded. I ended up disputing the charge to my credit card and was credited. To this day I haven't heard from them or gotten the order.

EXCELLENT BUY...DO NOT MISS
When I ordered these I wasn't too sure about this vendor. Their price was significantly lower than others, but once I received my stones I was in awe. They were above my expectations. I would definitely order more from them.
