Its called Stones of Barenziah! Not Stone. Its known as Unusual Gem. This prompts a Miscellaneous Quest to be added to the Journal, saying that the player must appraise the gem before using it. Gems can be appraised by a few people; two of which are Maul in Riften and Vex, part of the Thieves Guild, also in Riften.
Upon getting it appraised, the player learns that 24 exist in total and are only valuable as a whole set. Most, if not all, are found in the extra jobs for the Thieves Guild. The reward for collecting all of these items is the thieves guild perk, Prowler’s Profit. (Chance of finding additional gems in chests.)
