Welcome to the stone studio! Stone Temple's stones possess high-ore content and high Thermal Radiance Quotients.They are like those featured in The HEALING STONE MASSAGE DVD's. After they are gathered, each stone is hand washed, then they are put together as a "set" and, finally, tested for comfort by REAL people on our massage table.

After all these steps, if the stones fit well together, they are individually wrapped. We even label every stone for you. This skill, patience and attention to detail is truly not found in discount massage stone companies.

These top grade stones are NOT available on other websites, in other trainings or in stores. We've been collecting these stones by hand and making the ESSENTIAL SET for stone massage certification trainings since 1997.

Stone Temple's Healing Stone Massage stones are all naturally harvested, never polished, mechanically tumbled or mechanically shaped. Over time and after many immersions into water and oils they will develop a rich patina, but they come to you in their raw + vital state.

This means that there may be variations in color: some stones will be a pale grey or pale green. A stone does not need to be black in order to retain and radiate heat. You will enjoy learning more about these treasures as you work with them and study the Healing Stone Massage training manual.

After being heated to their core (do not use a microwave oven to heat metamorphic stones),the larger body stones in your collection will radiate a gentle warmth for 20 minutes or longer when placed under the body.(TRQ+20)

Smaller stones and those exposed to air will have varying thermal radiance quotients.(TRQ+1-20)

The cooling stones will provide refreshing contrast when used at room temperature, but may even be chilled or frozen without causing damage to the stone.

Massage Stones 101

The composition of massage stones is very important, for it alone determines "thermal radiance potential", or, how long your stones will radiate a CONSISTENT, gentle, warmth. Stones with high iron ore content are like permanent natural magnets, possessing geomagnetic (earth energy) remanence. Their combined energy and heat delivery qualities will amplify the potency of any body therapy that you offer.

It is important that you are familiar with the following criteria when you collect massage stones:

COMPOSITION: Tells you how much and what kind of mineral and ore content in a stone. Ore is a heat and geomagnetic conductor. The greater the ore content,the heavier the stone. Look/feel for density.

SHAPE : Refers to comfort in layouts. Look for stones that fit the natural contours of the body.

TEXTURE : Refers to stone's capacity to exert stimulation to inert lymph fluid in massage stroking. Look for varied textures, not smooth and polished stones.

SIZE: Refers to Weight & Traction benefits. Also, length of time for consistent heat delivery: bigger size stone stays warm longer. Look for stones as big as your palm, including the length of your fingers, or larger for body stones.
