Here is a true story about a friendship stone I owned. I loved it.

The stone was a golden brown with transparent striations that sparkled when turned, especially in sunlight. I kept the stone in my pocket together with my loose change

I want to share the pleasure that I get when I give the friendship stone to friends and family.I believe that one of the foundations of friendships is giving.  And that this power of giving is what makes friendship so meaningful. Truly giving is  a reciprocal act. That as you give, you get equal amounts of  love and care in return.  
The friendship stone, with it's many beautiful colors and, each with it's unique character, allows me to give to my friends with the same kind of recognition of uniqueness and character through this fabulous gift. I love to watch the faces of my friends or family when they open up the box that encloses the beautiful friendship stone – I love their expression when they  see the stone for the very first time, take it gently out of the box, rubbing it between their fingers, enjoy the stone's texture, lines, color, it's depth penetrates as it sits in your hand. .
