Rainsticks have been used for centuries in ceremonial rituals by various tribes of South America to bring rain to the badly needed areas of the Atacama desert in northern Chile.   When the rainstick is slightly tilted, small pebbles inside the cactus trickle down through sharp thorns to re-create the sound of rain.  These rainsticks are made by Chilean craftsmen and are guaranteed to be of the finest quality and sound.  If after three weeks you are not completely satisfied with our rainsticks or if it has not yet rained, just send the rainstick back to us and we will gladly send you a new one.
