What is worry stone?

A worry stone is a smooth, polished stone that is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It is typically used as a stress-relief tool and is believed to help alleviate anxiety, promote relaxation, and calm the mind.

The concept of worry stones dates back to ancient Greece, where they were used as a tool to alleviate stress and worries. The idea is that by rubbing the stone with your thumb, you can transfer your worries and anxieties onto the stone, allowing you to release them and feel more at ease.

Worry stones are often made from smooth, polished stones such as quartz, amethyst, or onyx, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be carried in a pocket or purse, kept on a desk or nightstand, or used during meditation or mindfulness practices.

Many people find that using a worry stone can help them feel more grounded, centered, and calm during times of stress or anxiety. It can be a simple and effective tool for promoting emotional well-being and self-care.
