1. I think it's called a "worry rock" now and sells for

about $3. Maybe more when a mindful saying is carved in it...
I like the plain old rock that I find on the ground or the beach myself

2. I hear the hispters call them "palm stones" or "thumb stones"

I remember them as "Worry Stones" from when they were a thing in the late 60s/early 70s. When I bought an actual fidget spinner, I flashed back to having a worry stone and liking it a lot. So I bought one.

5. Worry stone was the one thing I had back then

No pet rock or chia head for me...

Someone gave me a really pretty polished stone of perfect size, I dubbed it a worthy worry stone.
I misplaced it. of course, did not find it till packing for yet another move years later.

I don't get the fidget spinner thing at all....says someone who Had to have a hula hoop back in the day.

6. Fidget Spinners are fine.

I know there are smaller ones but the one I got was a bit unwieldy for my small hands. Mostly I just lay it on the desk and watch it spin. I think it's a nice distraction but not nearly as soothing as a Worry Stone. Plus Worry Stones are a nice cheap way to own pretty, polished rocks.

3. I give up. My best guess is a piece of clay? nt

4. It's a Worry Stone

I put a Wikipedia link in the OP.

This one is made from Connemara Marble.

7. Years ago, I had a little Dremel tool

and one of the things I made was Worry Wood!

There was a shop nearby that sold small pieces of all sorts of different woods, most of them around 1/4" thick. I would just cut out a kidney shaped piece and use the grinding tool to put a nice thumb-sized indent on one end of it and then sand it all down 'til it was shiny smooth.

9. Now I miss having a Dremel

That sounds lovely. I imagine finishing one with a beeswax/mineral oil polish.

10. My Fidget Spinner

is commonly called a pen. Since I'm not supposed to smoke. It has to be a clicky pen, and the more different textures and materials it is made of the better.

11. I played with a fidget spinner at a fair

It was fun but I liked the fidget cubes better. I'd never buy one though. MY fidgeting is knitting.
