A mass of some type of [[stone]] with a relatively level top of one or more layers of [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. Stone types seen have included plain stone, [[limestone]], [[sandstone]], and [[marble]]. [[Ore]]s or two types of stone in the same island have not been reported.

Small [[cave]]s in the stone are not unusual, and [[gems]] may be found inside those, whether or not a [[Gem Tree|gem tree]] is present. There may also be [[Golden Chest|golden chests]] present, just as with underground [[cave]]s. It is possible for stone or soil blocks to be spawned near but completely detached (even by back wall) from a floating island.

If all of a floating island's stone is replaced with [[marble]] when it spawns, there is an increased chance of a [[Gem Tree|gem tree]].
