These "stones" get very warm[3] when rubbed. They are said to bring luck and wellness and are common good luck charms in gambling.[4]

The Djucu is very popular in Aruba where it is used to make jewelry and is considered essential when gambling in many of Aruba's casinos. In Aruba, many people have their Djucus set in gold and put on a chain for good luck.[1]
