Body-sized stones, such as germanium, are installed into the floor of a room which is usually heated to around 40-50°C (104-122°F). [1] Bathers, usually dressed in kannaigi (้คจๅ ็) which is a type of casual Japanese indoor wear similar to samue, place a bath towel on a stone and lie on it. [2] The stones themselves are heated.
Germanium is created by stellar nucleosynthesis, mostly by the s-process in asymptotic giant branch stars. The s-process is a slow neutron capture of lighter elements inside pulsating red giant stars. [57] Germanium has been detected in some of the most distant stars [58] and in the atmosphere of Jupiter.

Two oxides of germanium are known: germanium dioxide (GeO 2, germania) and germanium monoxide, (GeO). [4] The dioxide, GeO 2 can be obtained by roasting germanium disulfide (GeS 2) or by allowing elemental germanium to slowly oxidze in air, [5] and is a white powder that is only slightly soluble in water but reacts with alkalis to form germanates.

In geology, a bed is a layer of sediment, sedimentary rock, or volcanic rock "bounded above and below by more or less well-defined bedding surfaces". [1] A bedding surface or bedding plane is respectively a curved surface or plane that visibly separates each successive bed (of the same or different lithology) from the
