But what about the stone?

[edit]

The word runestone is a composite of two words: rune and stone. This article explains the runes, but says nothing about the stone. What are the dimensions of the stone? What type of stone is it made of? (The type of stone probably mattered to the makers, so should certainly be included information.) What does it weigh? Where was it mined, on site or nearby or far away? Without these things you should change the title of the article to Istaby Runes. I have tried to find the information myself, but have been unsuccessful. The museum's search function is currently broken and all other Internet articles about the stone seem to regurgitate the same information about the runes and say nothing of the stone.
