Worry stones are wonderful little objects that we've wanted to stock for ages! Our crystal section in our physical store looks gorgeous right now. The flower agate and carnelian worry stones are particularly gorgeous. When you hold one in your hand you'll know why! The nature of the stone means that, when polished up, agate has this beautifully silky texture like solid water.
The Difference Between Thumb Stones And Worry Stones
Thumbstones are a kind of worry stone that have a dip in the center. You use this part to rub your thumb back and forth to ease your anxiety and focus better. Its very helpful when trying to concentrate on the intention you mean to set.
For example the stone above is a Carnelian. If I was using this worry stone I would be intending to find motivation and vital energy, as these are some of the properties of the stone. With the flower agate below I would be focusing on personal growth and moving forward while rubbing the stone. You can carry worry stones around to remind you of what you would like to manifest as a soothing physical reminder of the path you want to take.
In theory worry stones can be any stones - but the ones we stock are shaped specifically to be easy to manoeuvre in the palm and fingers, as well as the perfect size and shape to carry in your pocket. A worry stone like the rose quartz one below can be carried for times of anxiety or heartache. You can take it out and rub it between the fingers and along the palm to relax tension from your body and mind. It's the perfect size to take anywhere and is a favourite for stress relief.
