Is there really a difference between the types of stones sold by the various companies in Australia and worldwide?
A. Yes there is a definite difference in the quality, consistency and sometimes the actual type of stone. Hahana Stone Massage stocks only the highest quality, internationally sourced, volcanic basalt and marble stones (orbicular/rounded). For Hot Stones, basalt stones which are naturally formed (by volcanoes) and smoothed (by rivers/oceans) over thousands of years, are the preferred type of stone for therapists all over the World (hand-carved stones are a budget-priced alternative to natural stones). Marble is the most commonly used Cold Stone. Finding a supplier who sells symmetrically paired stones is very important. This ensures that the stones feel comfortable for both the therapist and client.
