Origins
The Friendship Stone is a Tiger's Eye semi-precious gemstone, made up of crystal deposits of quartz and a fibrous blue mineral called crocidolite. While in the earth, these crystals condense simultaneously from hot-mineral rich fluids coursing through tiny cracks in the rock that grow and fill it. The combination of the two crystals as well as the crocidolite fibers help form the Chatoyancy effect the Tiger's Eye is famous for, that which causes the stones look to change when turned.
Every beautiful Friendship Stone begins its journey as a raw variegated Tiger’s Eye in the South African soil. The stones are naturally tumbled in a stone-on-stone process and carefully hand-sorted three times. Each stone is carefully and meticulously handpicked for its own natural beauty and luminosity. The Friendship Stone is a perfect reminder of our connection with friends, our ability to change our perspective to find the positive, and a unique way to share with other people. The Friendship Stones are not artificially edged, shaped, colored or processed.

When Cathy decided to create The Friendship Stone, she knew that she wanted to also give back to the community she visited, where the stones originate.

The Friendship Stone generates more than just friendship – it can extend a helping hand to the people who need it: the perfect way to close the circle of giving…
