A thermal-treatment process including providing at least one faux-stone apparatus, such as in a pre-packaged kit. The process in some implementations includes providing a faux-stone usage instruction, such as on kit packaging or with the faux-stone apparatus(es) within the packaging. The process includes heating or cooling the faux-stone apparatus, yielding a thermally-effected faux-stone apparatus. The process also includes applying at least one thermally-effected faux-stone apparatus to a user. Each apparatus includes a natural granular filler comprising a multiplicity of natural granules configured to (i) retain heat received by conduction or radiation and by radiation and/or conduction transfer the heat to a user and (ii) be cooled and receive heat from the user body. Each apparatus includes a natural cover sized and shaped to fit in its entirety within a user hand, is generally round, oval or irregularly shaped to look like a real stone, and encases the granular filler.
