A stone marker is a natural support that can be used to mark a boundary or the presence of buried infrastructure. Information used to be etched or painted on them.

The stone marker has to be dedicated to each individual marker. If not, you may have a look to marker=plate that better correspond to other situations.

Tag Differences Comparison

In the case of 'marker=stone', it must be a stone used as a landmark, and it does not matter whether it is a natural stone or an artificially created one.
Instead, if it was originally in that place in that shape, the use of the 'natural=stone' tag is recommended. If it was artificially created, or even if it was originally there but artificially modified, the use of the 'marker=stone' tag is preferable.
