'''Stone''' or '''rock''' is a naturally occuring solid aggregate of minerals. It sometimes leaves behind boulders after being mined (the drop rate is dependant on the skill of the [[miner]]). Other types of [[Mining|minable]] tiles include [[soil]] and [[sand]].

''(For the beginning player, see also [[The Non-Dwarf's Guide to Rock]])''

Stone is divided into three key categories:
 +
* [[Metal ore]]: stone that produces [[metal]] [[bar]]s when [[Smelter|smelted]]
 +
* Economic stone: [[coal]] and stone that is used as a [[flux]], or has other desirable features
 +
* Other stone: stone that is only used for items and structures and has no special features other than color
  
'''Stone''' or '''rock''' is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals. It sometimes [[stone management|leaves behind]] material after being mined or [[cave in|collapsing]]. Other types of [[Mining|minable]] tiles include [[soil]] and [[sand]]. 
+
== Metal ore ==
  
Stone is divided into a few key categories:
+
Metal ores with two possible metals always create the first metal, but have a chance of creating the second metal as well.
* [[Metal ore]]: stone that produces [[metal|metal bars]] when [[Smelter|smelted]]
 
* Rough [[gem|gems]]: rough gems can be [[gem cutting|cut]], then used to [[encrust]] objects and create [[window|windows]].
 
* Other stone: Stone that is not an [[ore]] or a gem. Few of these have a use outside of items and structures. ([[Obsidian]] is one exception).
 
  
[[Economic stone]]s are types of stone that can be reserved for a special purpose. For [[ore|ores]], this is smelting and for [[flux|fluxes]], this is steel production. [[Bituminous coal]] and [[lignite]] can be reserved for making [[coke]].

Having created loose stone, many times you'll want to get rid of it or at least move it someplace else. See [[stone management]] for advice.
+
== Economic stone ==
  
''This article is about DF geology and the distribution of stones, and does not contain the specific locations of [[metal ore|metal ores]] or [[gem|gems]].''
+
Economic stones have special uses as fuel or [[flux]], or other uses like making special items. You can use the {{K|z}}&nbsp;:&nbsp;<tt>Stone</tt> menu to restrict or un-restrict their use in items and buildings.
  
== Main layer types ==
+
The Stone menu will also show what each stone can be used for--very useful for figuring out what you need to mine to make that obscure metal your [[noble]] is whining about.
{{main|Layer}}
 
  
There are four types of stone [[layer|layers]] (plus [[soil]], which is not stone). The type of layer is the primary indicator of what kind of [[ore|ores]] you are likely to find on the map, as well as a sign of [[volcano|volcanic]] activity.

The types are [[sedimentary layer|sedimentary layers]], [[igneous intrusive layer|igneous intrusive layers]], [[igneous extrusive layer|igneous extrusive layers]], and [[metamorphic layer|metamorphic layers]].
+
== Other Stone found in layers==
 
+
All other stones have value 1, except obsidian, which has a value of 3.
The primary types of rock only occur in their own layers. (e.g. you won't find [[limestone]] in a [[marble]] layer.)

! Stone name
These types of stone occur as entire layers, containing some [[cluster|veins and pockets]] of other minerals (see below). If one of the following types of stone is present on your map, it will be listed in one of the [[biome|biomes]] on the embark screen.<br /><br />

== Other Stone ==
 
Stones found on this table will occur as [[cluster|pockets and veins]] inside their respective stone layers (see above). When your miners newly encounter one of them, the game will pause and you will receive an announcement; even for the ones that have no use other than to build constructions of unusual colors. Note that the veins or clusters can spread into other layers, and may cause some layers to contain stones they usually wouldn't. A few of these stones, such as [[Olivine]], have other, more interesting minerals appear inside them.
 
 
 
Non-layer stone formations occur in one of three shapes: large clusters, veins, and small clusters. ''(See [[Vein|Veins & Clusters]] for full info.)''

== DF Geology and real-world Geology ==
 
The geology and stones of Dwarf Fortress are based on real-world geology and mineralogy. To understand the terms used here, you may want to crack open a geology textbook (a high school one should suffice). If you don't happen to have one close by, the Wikipedia articles for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology geology], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineralogy mineralogy], or the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_layers terms in question] might help.
