heated rocks

Hot geological specimens

Heated rocks are stones that have been warmed, typically for therapeutic massage, cooking, or generating steam.

In spa treatments, smooth basalt stones are heated and placed on the body or used to apply pressure.

In traditional cooking methods like pit roasting, heated rocks provide sustained, even heat.

In saunas, water poured over heated rocks produces steam.
