Spirit Stones are what allow [[Bonesinger]]s to draw raw energy from the warp to shape it into the matter known as [[Wraithbone]].{{Fn|7}} Spirit Stones containing particularly strong spirits are often referred to as "Tears of Isha"{{Fn|11}}
===Waystones===
Waystones are, essentially, large spirit stones.{{Fn|15}} Unlike other spirit stones they can be imparted a portion of a still-living [[Eldar]] soul allowing other [[Seer]]s to communicate with and draw upon it, as [[Eldrad Ulthran]] did in preparation for the [[13th Black Crusade]],{{Fn|3d}} which enabled him to guide the myriad strike forces through the webway to coordinate attacks and unleash the full potency of his [[Psychic]][[Eldar_Psychic_Powers#Farseers|Eldritch Storm]] attacks in multiple places at once.{{Fn|15}}
==Notes==
When a Spirit Stone is destroyed the soul once contained is lost to the warp, where it will presumably be devoured by Slaanesh.{{Fn|3a}}
Interestingly, in the novel [[Dawn of War (Novel)]], a Spirit Stone is smashed by a [[Power Axe]], resulting in an incredibly loud metallic ringing, and then an explosion that not only destroys the Power Axe, but also sends [[Trythos]], the [[Space Marine]] wielding it, flying a few metres away.
Like the [[Dark Eldar]] of present day, ancient Aeldari armour used during the [[War in Heaven]] doesn't feature these jewels.{{Fn|12}}
