I've had my stones (one is a King combination stone, 1000/6000) for

I store my 220, 1000, and 2000 in water. I don't store my 4000 in
water as the manufacturer says it's not necessary.

Losing a loved one or a pet would make me cry. A frozen ANYTHING isn't
going to make me cry; softly or otherwise. How would you react if there
was REAL tragedy in your life?? :)

I believe I read somewhere that you arenot supposed to store them in
water but tio add water when you are ready to use them. This also is
very true about freezing temps klike we are having now. Ever seen a
frozen waterstone? Makes you want to cry. Softly.
