Are these really basalt stones?

they seem to be--I am no Geologist, but stones acquired previously described as basalt, look and feel the same as these stones. They hold their heat and are very smooth

The ones we received are indeed Basalt, nicely polished. Basalt is fine grained which is why it can feel so smooth.It is slightly heavier than many other rocks of a similar size.Source Geologist :-)

They have some that resemble stones. Also, you can get other actual outdoor speakers. Most are set in a box. When in doubt, don't purchase.

The stones do not scratch. They're slightly rounded on the edges and soapstone isn't that hard. Not to mention, they're in a liquid while in use. We've had no problems at all.

They are rocks straight from the river. They are not flat. They large ones are cumbersome and are difficult to use. I am six feet and have huge hands.

No. They are a fairly typical machine made glass. The rim is not this like blown glass.

Yes they are but you do receive a lot of different shapes and sizes. I used super glue for nails to place the stones in and haven't had any issues with them falling off after that.

Yes they are. The quality is not as go as factory but this is the second set I have replaced. Too many stones flying up. So in my case I keep replacing them.

The stones I received are close to what is pictured. Be mindful that all stones will be different. Some more flat then others.

No, they are not. I do reccomend them though! They look very real. I like them enough to use them for my wedding this fall!

Well, I wouldnt call it a stone. Its some sort of thin plate used for sharpening. I didnt like it very well, it felt kinda cheap. So I bought a nice stone seperately. Hope this helps.

Hmm... after carefully checking those stones and comparing them to other stones it may have been treated only because it looks too perfect in every aspect such as color, shape and perhaps the feel of the stones, can't seem to get measurable amount of energy a natural stone would support. They seem to lack that dynamic energy. But they are beautiful and make great conversation pieces.

Good question. Definitely not granite by any stretch of the imagination. Not sure why Amazon has that information listed.

I purchased them a while back, and I'm confident they are crystal. I'm no expert, but if they were glass I would expect a seam, which they do not have. Also they are much heavier than what I would expect from glass. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Actually, none of them are really black. The small and medium sized stones are more of a slate color with green and blue tints. The largest stones are closer to being black, but are not as dark as the image suggests. They aren't uniform in color, but the stones in person are way more aesthetically pleasing than the image portrays. For $20 it isn't a bad set at all.

No. These are NOT pony beads. They are smaller than pony beads and not as rounded.

The stones are not flat but they fit well in the palm of the hand for massaging. I bought medium, large and extra large. The medium stones are about three inches. The large stones are aproximately four inches. The extra large rock is approximately five inches and very appropriate as a sacral stone.

I am no expert, but it looked like it could be lava rock. The rock was very coarse. I gave it as a gift and the recipient ended up returning it because the rock surface was too coarse for her use.
