Product description Snowflake Obsidian Worry Stones Healing Crystal Worry - Thumb Stones Worry Stones are smooth, polished gemstones, usually in the shape of an oval with a thumb-sized indentation, used for relaxation or anxiety relief. The smoothness of the stone is most often created naturally by running water. Worry stones are typically around 3 centimetres in size. They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone. This action of moving one's thumb back and forth across the stone is thought to reduce stress. Worry stones may also be called palm stones, thumb stones, fidget stones, soothing stones, or sensory stones. Physical Characteristics Worry stones don't have to be any particular shape - any flat stone will do. However, some stones designed specifically for this purpose have the following physical characteristics: · They are carved into a flat oval shape that's about 1 cm (⅓ inch) thick. · They are usually a bit longer than an inch in diameter along the longest axis (about 3 cm) and about 3/4 an inch (2 cm) along the shorter axis. · They have a smooth, flat surface. · Some have a thumb shaped concave indentation along the top to allow you to easily run your thumb across it. · They are tumbled and/or polished. · They may be made from gemstone crystals or other types of rocks. Many people believe worry stones relieve stress. So do they work? Anecdotal evidence from people who use them say that the repetitive motion is stress relieving and can be a meditative practice. But is there science to back it up? Other than user reports, no studies have been performed, so there's no hard, scientific evidence that the stones work for their intended purposes. However, much like similar stress relief items such as stress balls and fidget spinners, many people believe they do. Whether this is due to a placebo effect or for some other reason remains unproven.
