Description
The smoothness of the stone is most often created naturally by running water. The size of a worry stone is often about half the size of a silver dollar coin in the United States. They are used by holding the stone between the index finger and thumb and gently moving one’s thumb back and forth across the stone. Harnessing the properties of copper, Goldstone has the effect of boosting life-force and promoting vitality. This effect is said to resemble the stars at night which helps us connect to our dreams. These stones can also produce asterisms when light is reflected from the internal flakes.
Asterism refers to a star effect. The star is similar to a cat’s eye. The effect is caused by light reflecting off internal, silk-like inclusions. However, in a star stone, the inclusions are crossed rather than straight. Corundum and quartz crystalize in the hexagonal system and develop six-rayed stars. Garnet and diopside have four-rayed stars. You’ll rarely find star quartz in jewellery. The star is faint and most often seen in spheres. Even then, good lighting is required to see the star clearly.
