About My Stone CompanyMy Stone Company was established in 2007 by Cathy Raff after a visit to South Africa where she discovered the Tiger’s Eye semi-precious gemstone. The remarkable beauty of the stone and its ability to change its appearance as it is turned back and forth became an inspiration and metaphor for how one can change his or her perspective to look at life optimistically. What started with giving a few stones to a couple of her friends soon grew into “”The Friendship Stone". In two years, the company has expanded and has launched The Jerusalem Stone, which captures the essence of the Holy City and forges stronger connections between the recipient and Jerusalem. My Stone Company is dedicated to inspiring lives and continues to give-back to the community.
