Description
A polished black tourmaline worry stone with a thumb hollow ground into it, clipped to a keyring. The dip is the whole design: you find it without looking and your thumb does the rest.
Worry stones are usually credited to ancient Greece, where smooth stones were reportedly rubbed the same way, and the modern form spread through mid century America as a pocket object. The mechanism is not mysterious. Repetitive touch occupies the hands, and occupied hands are quieter hands.
Black tourmaline is the stone chosen for this shape more than any other. It is schorl, the iron rich tourmaline, and it is worked as an absorber: kept at doorways, carried through crowds, and reached for by people who come home from a room feeling like they brought some of it with them.
How to Use It
- Find it with your thumb rather than looking for it. That is the point of the hollow.
- Keep it on your keys so it is present in a parking lot and a waiting room.
- Rinse it under running water now and then and dry it in sun.
