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.

Perfect Hot Stone set
I absolutely love this set of hot stones. There is a stone for every muscle in the body and many I have found to be useful for more areas and massage techniques than they are even meant for. Love these stones - perfectly shaped for their purposes, retain and transfer heat beautifully, and my clients are always extremely happy with their hot stone massages.

Mixed Feelings
The product is fine, but when I received it, it wasn't packaged very nicely. I was disappointed in the sloppy presentation and hand writing

Bad, very bad.
What you sent is not what you have in the picture! Of the 66 stones only 24 are of acceptable quality.

Almost perfect
The stones are greats, but I wish the sacrum stone was larger. The trigger point stones are prefect size though.

Not what I was expecting
Since you can't really tell what the size of the stones REALLY are, it was difficult to make a decision to purchase these... Not the best choice! The sacral/belly stone is REALLY small for where it's intended for. The medium stones were not all of the same shape - one was completely ROUND, not flat at all! I'm not going to continue complaining, but just say I'm not totally happy with this set and WAY too expensive to return. Cost about $20 for shipping, for not going to pay another $20 to return.
