The Friendship Stone and The Friendship Stone Necklace are composed of semi-precious Tiger's Eye gemstone. Discovered in large quantities in Western South African soil in the 1880's, the Tiger's Eye is a semi-precious gemstone displaying an effect of a thin band of light, called Chatoyancy, that changes position as the stone is turned back and forth.
The Tiger's Eye is 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 well-known for.
The variegated Friendship Stones are not artificially edged, shaped, colored or processed. The powerfully- colored stones are naturally tumbled in a stone-on-stone process and carefully hand-sorted three times. Each Friendship Stone is chosen for its natural beauty and luminosity.
