Stone
Type	Raw material
Gathered at	Rocks in The Mine, The Pond, Whisperwood and the Wilderness
Skill	Mining
Used for	Copper smelting, Shield Potions, Guild Life and firepits

Stone is a raw gathered material in Kintara. Every rock outside Frostmere and The Dunes gives Stone — plain rocks in The Mine, The Pond, Whisperwood and the Wilderness (dark-veined rocks give Coal instead). It is the copper-smelting ore, buys Shield Potions, and feeds Guild Life.
