Giveaway: The Friendship Stone


"The Friendship Stone is a unique and individual Tiger’s Eye friendship gift,
each stone with its quirky way of reacting to light and its own personality – just like people!"
When I was sent this beautiful Friendship stone, I immediately liked it because Tiger's eye is an intriguing stone that seems to change color when the light hits it from different angles.

Cathy Raff, the owner/founder of My Stone Company was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitus at a young age and had many medical challenges for years to follow. When she was finally pain free, she began thinking of what was important to her, and in 2004, the Friendship stone journey began when she was on a business trip with her husband to South Africa. Her story is inspiring and so is her stone gift giving idea.
Maybe this gift would be for a child who is leaving home or friend who is moving. I gave mine to my daughter. I told her that God made her unique and special just like how this stone is unique and beautiful and that I want it to remind her of how much I love her and God does too.
When you purchase a Friendship Stone, they give 10% back to project South Africa (from where the stones originate). Also, 20% of net sales gets donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America - 15% to your local agency and 5% to National, when purchased through the partnership website.

Because Valentine's Day is approaching soon, The Friendship Stone would like to offer you a 14% discount when using the coupon code: valentine (valid from 2/1-2/21)
You have a chance to WIN A Friendship Stone Gift too (valued at 19.99)!
