Worry stone

An old form of minimalist stress relief: a worry stone crafted from Connemara Marble. Rubbing one's thumb in the curved indentation is supposed to calm a harried mind...

other sizes: small medium large auto

Very cool. I learned something new. Hopefully it gets very little use.

And it probably works to a degree too Máire!

Did it come like this or did you rub the indentation into it out of worry? :-) (Put me down for one as well...)
