A small chunk of dense but otherwise unremarkable natural mineral. It can be thrown by hand or launched with a sling.
"How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn't care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears -
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity -"
-Emily Dickinson, "How happy is the little Stone". ca. 1865.

Stones are a common form of ammo which can thrown by hand for minimal damage. While unimpressive, they are the fastest throwing weapon available, and can be used to attract and deal small amounts of damage to enemies - potentially giving you enough of an advantage to survive fighting an adder or jelly or the like. You can largely disregard stones the moment you find a better ranged option. Stones are always mulched (destroyed) after being thrown.

History
- Prior to 0.29, stones could be used for hunting slings, fustibali, and Sandblast. They were more common, and only mulched 12.5% of the time.
- Prior to 0.20, Sandblast did not require stones to function.
- Prior to 0.17, stones were particulalry useful as an anti-jelly weapon, as jellies would eat most other projectiles and heal by doing so.
- Prior to 0.11, mulching a large rock would create a stack of stones.
