Description
A pack of eight large flat oval stones in natural black basalt. Each stone is hand shaped and polished with no wax or dyes, giving a smooth, rounded oval that sits comfortably in the palm.
Large ovals are the workhorse of a hot stone treatment, used for placement on the back and stomach, as a warm neck rest, and for long gliding strokes over the thighs, calves and arms. The narrower edges are handy for working into tight spots. A good top-up or replacement pack for any set.
- Classic oval shape fits the palm for long strokes
- Basalt holds heat well through a treatment
- Narrow edges for focused work on tight areas
- Easy top-up for an existing stone set
In the set:
- 8 x large flat oval basalt stones, 77 x 56 x 28mm each
