A worry stone is a small, smooth crystal or gemstone. It’s often shaped like an oval with a thumb-shaped indention.

Worry stones fit perfectly between the thumb and index finger. The gentle motion of massaging one’s thumb back and forth across the stone provides a physical touchpoint that can bring therapeutic and psychological benefits. These small and smooth pocket-size stones are believed to help relieve stress and keep your sensory inputs busy. Simply rub the indented center and feel your worries disappear.
