She brought it down onto the back of the head.
However, her apparent frailty made it look more like a light tap than a nasty knock.
The man, who appears much taller and more thickly built than the woman, began fighting back.
The rock could be seen flying out of her hand as the two tussled.
Local media say the woman pulled out a pepper spray ejector and used it on the jeweller.
After hearing the commotion, neighbouring shopkeepers rushed into the store and helped subdue the woman.
She was arrested at the scene a short while later, while the jeweller was taken to hospital by ambulance.
His condition is unclear.
The police in Kayseri – south-east of Ankara, Turkey – are investigating the case, as reported by Need To Know.
They believe the woman went into the store pretending to be a customer with the sole intention of carrying out a robbery.
Neither of those involved have been named or had their ages revealed in local reports.
