FINDING/BORROWING Your Stones - GUIDELINES
Not recommended but if you absolutely can’t afford the approx. 45.00+ shipping for purchasing, please follow these guidelines CLOSELY:
You MUST know how to identify a BASALT stone. They can be found in riverbeds, at the beach near river outlets, and outdoor landscaping stores etc. Stones must be basalt!! The characteristics of smoothness, density, heat retaining abilities are of the utmost importance, as you will need to have consistency with heat!! VERY IMPORTANT. Other stones can have cracks, irregular textures/holes and can crack. DO NOT BRING ANYTHING BUT BASALT. Please bring them into class, clean. Prepare them for class by scrubbing in very warm water, with antibacterial soap and a scrub brush. Rinse well and dry completely.
