I use 3 stones / hand and they are much smaller then pictured in that post, I don't know how important the size is.

It's not important. Only that they feel right to you, or are the very best you can find.
Then stick with that set.

Great! I bet soon or later you will find purple puffs. Yes, at first they look as spots on the eyes. Keep practicing and you will see!
When you see the colors transform into an alien goo, within which you can see all kinds of textures, and all with your eyes open, there is no place for that thought!
Just look at the drawings in this subreddit. Once the second attention is activated, it is as complex or more than the first attention.
> I found that the greenish white spots I can see with my eyes opened and closed. Is this an illusion of my mind or a barrier to be overcome?
Yes! You can see them both ways. The second attention is perceived in a very strange way for our mind. For instance, in the darkroom you can see your body and the room in pitch darkness. Ask JD!
But it is there, available for every human being to improve it.
Just keep practicing, playing with those colors; try to make them brighter at will. It is possible that you find images too, like the guy who posted today. That is so nice.
Look for cool things! Anything that keep you interested. If you dont find anything, you need to improve your silence. Get rid of the internal dialogue.

This is me. Yes, you can do it. I had only single experience so far, but girls with whom I practice did it many times. You can see your hands, your body with a specific glow. You will be delighted.

u/atila_set Yep, he is our friend JD.
Among practitioners, there are several things that we find in common in what we see. One of them is to see the room even if it is completely dark; also our bodies. Another interesting thing is a yellowish glow on our hands.
There are a lot of possibilities in darkroom gazing!

Hmm there are lots of things you can "do" with them, but I'm still at that stage that it takes a lot to even see anything vague. Last night I practised for 1.5 - 2h, and it was only black, and slight "anomalies" in it. I had instead interesting sounds I heard, like It felt I saw many thin metal washers pouring/falling for an instant, and I heard the chiming sound they made while falling. That's the one I remember, there where at least 3 times I heard weird sounds.
There are many posts here detailing different things you can do with the colors.

I think you are on the right path, You have seen colors in the dark.
I would suggest to practice silence during the day also, trying to be aware of your thoughts and emotions.
Here are couple good beginner posts by Dan:
