You can look that one up (and I suspect you know anyway) - It's a block of sandstone used in some rituals in the UK.

MUCH more interesting is the "Scone of Stone" - a form of Dwarf battle bread mentioned in "The Fifth Elephant" - a work of fantasy fiction written by Terry Pratchett.

I'm confused Ray some say just stone of scone, others call it the stone of destiny, others call it The westminster stone, so there is no clear answer. Maybe its just legend? Personally I like scones so long as they are warm with a nice dollop of butter. I've not read Terry Pratchett my father had a few of his books.
