Why Carry Birthstone Worry Stones

A worry stone is a smooth, polished stone that when rubbed is believed to reduce one's worries and add a sense of calmness. A birthstone worry stone is believed to have certain properties that are significant to that particular person's birth. When the stone is rubbed, the negative energy and worries are transferred into the stone and you are left calm and peaceful. Worry stones can be used as a force to send positive energy and good will.

Almost every culture has used stones to channel energy and many believe that by wearing your specific birthstone it will create health, promote good fortune and protect against negative forces.

Choosing Your Stone

For a worry stone, it is not practical to carry a valuable gemstone such as a ruby, diamond or emerald in your pocket. Alternative and new age stones are more practical and affordable. Choose a stone that either is your own personal birthstone or a birthstone of someone significant to you. Remember to choose a stone that you can easily carry in your pocket or purse and that you wouldn't be deeply concerned about if it were to get lost.

Since 1912, the American Jewelers Association has adopted an official birthstone list that included both modern and traditional stones. The list includes twelve stones set to correspond with the specific birth month. There are variations to the list and many other versions of birthstone lists available. Some use birthstones according to the sign of the zodiac or the day of the week that the person was born on. Some of the more common stones associated with birth months and their properties are listed below.
