Worry stones, believed to have originated in ancient Greece, are smooth, polished gemstones held between fingers and rubbed for relaxation and relief from anxiety. In times of grief and loss, these stones are a comforting tool, offering solace through their tactile presence and calming effect on emotions. Scott Staats melds cremated remains into colorful, pocket-sized memorials to serve as a daily remembrance of a lost loved one.
- After you send a teaspoon of your loved one's ashes to Scott's studio, the artist heats glass in a furnace until it reaches a molten state. He then adds a thin layer of the ashes to the material, creating a luminous white color with a subtle bubble texture. Scott returns it to the furnace and sculpts it into a worry-stone shape.
- Choose from multiple colored designs to create a tribute that best represents your lost loved one.
- The handmade stones vary slightly in size and weight, each featuring a concave underside that enhances their comfort when held in the hand.
- Handblown in New Jersey.
NOTE: Once you order, we will send you an easy-to-use kit with very specific instructions and shipping materials (including a small tin, bag, and scoop) for sending a teaspoon of ashes to Scott's studio.
