Gold Variant
This was added in version 0.9 and before 1.0. It had no sprite, causing it to appear as invisible in-game.

Diamond Variant
This was functionally identical to the Gold Version, and also had no sprite.

Ruby Variant
The Stone Shield was removed before the Ruby Weapons were added to the game. So there is no sign of ruby sprite.

Real Life Equivalent

 * The Stone Shield is supposed to be an upgrade of the Wooden Shield. While Shields made of Wood was quite common in the early days of combat, Stone Shields usually never was.
 * In real life, Stone Shields were made primarily as decorations, and are still made today for this purpose.
 * Stone shields are impractical compared to metal and even wood shields because most stone is quite brittle and very heavy.

Trivia

 * The Shield_2 image was the only image of a weapon in the data files to use the number "2" (Until the Repeater Crossbow). All other images are simply "Sword_1" or "Samurai_1".
 * Using Katana, it would take 25 hits to kill a person with Stone Shield.
 * Paired with the Soldier Helmet, it would reduce 92.5% of damage.
