N IMPORTANT NOTE ON HEATERS & STONES:
With exclusion of teaching large classes we stopped with selling heaters in January 2010.
You can buy very inexpensive heaters in any major department store (anything goes: crock pots, oven roasters, rice cookers, all except the slow cookers, $50.00 per unit is an average price. Please be aware that majority of stones sold presently on the market are not harvested ethically, and it is up you to conduct a proper research and to find where the stones are harvested and how. Do not be afraid to ask questions and take responsibility for your purchasing decisions. Also, feel free to contact us if you have any question in regards to how to determine the value of the set you are buying.
