Stone is a type of resource in Stardew Valley. It is obtained by mining rocks with a pickaxe.

Normal rocks yield between 1 and 3 stone. Large rocks yield 10 stone. Stone is used in various crafting recipes and is also required as a form of payment when purchasing certain buildings and building upgrades at the Carpenter's Shop.

Stone can also be purchased from Robin, at the Carpenter's Shop, for data-sort-value="20">20g each.

Strategy

One method to quickly obtain a large quantity of stone is to mine large rocks at The Mines. Enter the Mines and go down the ladder to the first level. Mine any large rocks you see, ignoring all smaller ones. Once finished, go back up the ladder to the Mine entrance and then immediately back down to level one again. Since the levels are randomly generated everytime you enter them, there will always be a chance for more large rocks to spawn. By constantly "refreshing" the first level and mining only large rocks, you can effectively gain over 500 stone in a day.
