Polished Cherry Creek Jasper Worry Stones

Worry stones are smooth, polished stones, usually in the shape of an oval, with a thumb-sized indentation. They are often used by people for relaxation or anxiety relief purposes, the same way as some people use a fidget spinner. Typically, worry stones are 1 1/2 to 2 inches across. They may also be referred to as palm stones, thumb stones, fidget stones, etc.

Cherry creek jasper, also known as Red Creek Jasper or Picasso Jasper, is a beautiful, veiny stone mined from the Cherry Creek Mine in China. The stone contains a wide variety of colors and brecciated patterns. Though it is typically referred to as a jasper, it is not a jasper in a true sense since it is primarily composed of dolomite, not chalcedony. Like most dolomitic rocks and jaspers, it would have formed from sediment laid down by an ancient ocean.
