Contour shape Malteser Balsalt Stone for Hot Stone Massage 10 Piece Pack

10 Malteser Contour Basalt Hot Stones – Professional Massage Tools

The Master Massage Malteser Basalt Stone Set contains 10 specially contoured hot stones designed for controlled handheld massage and work around smaller or curved body areas. Their distinctive rounded profile sits comfortably in the palm and provides a different contact surface from conventional flat oval massage stones.

• ▶ 10 Malteser-shaped basalt stones — specialist professional massage tools
• ▶ Approx. 4 × 2 cm each — compact size designed to sit comfortably in the hand
• ▶ Contoured massage surface — useful for smaller and curved treatment areas
• ▶ 100% natural black basalt — traditionally shaped and polished
• ▶ 10-stone professional pack — allows additional warmed stones to remain available during treatment

A specialist hot stone shape for therapists who want more controlled handheld contact around smaller body areas than a conventional flat oval stone provides.

The Malteser profile has curved surfaces that make the stone comfortable to hold while offering controlled contact with the body. This makes it particularly useful when working around areas where a large flat massage stone can feel cumbersome. The compact shape can be incorporated into massage around the arms, legs, calves, thighs, back, neck and other suitable contoured areas. Master Massage also positions the shape for more focused work around smaller treatment areas.

Are Malteser Stones right for you?

• Choose Malteser Stones when you want a compact specialist stone that sits comfortably in the palm.
• For handheld massage: the contoured profile provides controlled contact during massage movements.
• For smaller areas: particularly useful where large oval stones are less convenient.
• For foot treatments: the shape can also be used around suitable areas of the sole of the foot.
• For expanding a stone kit: add a specialist shape once your core collection already contains standard oval stones.
• For broad placement: choose L, XL or XXL oval stones when a larger flat contact surface is required.

Why choose the Malteser contour shape?

The Malteser stone differs from a standard flat oval stone primarily through its compact contoured profile. The shape is intended to fit naturally into the therapist's hand and provide controlled contact during guided massage movements.

This makes the stones particularly useful as working massage tools rather than large static placement stones.

• Oval basalt stones: versatile general massage and placement.
• Malteser stones: compact handheld contour work.
• Crescent stones: curved body contours such as calves and thighs.
• Pressure-point stones: more focused contact for specialist techniques.

Recommended applications

• Professional handheld hot stone massage
• Arms and legs
• Calves and thighs
• Back and neck areas
• Smaller and curved treatment areas
• Suitable foot massage routines
• Expanding an existing professional hot stone collection

Natural basalt for hot stone massage

Basalt is a dense volcanic rock widely used for hot stone massage because it absorbs and retains warmth effectively while providing a smooth working surface once polished. The Malteser Stones are made from natural black basalt and traditionally shaped and polished. According to Master Massage, no waxes, dyes or added chemicals are used during production.

Because basalt is a natural material, variations in colour, grain, exact dimensions and surface appearance are normal.
