Worry stones, smooth rocks with a thumb groove, are ancient tools for anxiety relief, historically found in cultures like Greece, Tibet, and among Native Americans. They serve as a tactile focus during moments of anxiety. Available in two main types—palm stones for a broader rubbing area, and thumb stones which are smaller and portable—users can select based on their preference for usage. Additionally, the choice of stone material and texture can enhance their calming effects, with specific stones like amethyst believed to hold unique properties for worry absorption.
According to Gemrock, worry stones have been found in ancient Greece, Tibet, Ireland, and among various Native American tribes, suggesting a longstanding cultural significance.
The material of the worry stone, such as amethyst or labradorite, is believed by some to influence how effectively it can absorb one's worries.
