• size: approx. 3.0 cm x 4.0 cm

Amethyst is one of the most prized crystals in the quartz family. Its beautiful purple-violet color has made it a popular material for jewelry, ornaments, and spiritual objects for millennia. Amethyst comes in shades ranging from light lavender to deep purple. When the stone is held up to light, such as a phone flashlight, its internal layers of color are beautifully revealed.

Worry stones

Worry stones are smooth, polished stones used to calm the mind and ease tension. They are typically oval with a thumb-sized indentation, though other shapes also exist. Originally, worry stones were naturally shaped by water and time, but today they are often made from semi-precious gemstones such as amethyst.

The history of worry stones stretches far and wide: they were used in ancient Tibet, Greece, Ireland, and among the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. In ancient Greece, sea-smoothed stones served as soothing amulets, while in North America, worry stones were passed down through generations as a spiritual link to one’s ancestors.

Symbolism

Amethyst is regarded as one of the most powerful protective stones. It is believed to carry a high spiritual vibration that transforms negativity into love and strengthens the connection to inner wisdom. Amethyst opens the crown chakra, supports meditative focus, and helps cultivate inner peace. It is seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, symbolising insight and enlightenment.

Use

Hold the worry stone in your hand and gently rub it with your thumb. The repetitive motion stimulates nerve endings and soothes the mind – a natural, simple way to ease stress.
