Kibune Stones are one of the Seven Stones of Kamo and are taken from the Kibune River, a tributary of Kurama River. Kibune stones are known for their jet-black surfaces, however, they are also sometimes known as purple Kibune stones as they will give off a faint purple tint. When looking into this stone, one gets the impression of gazing at a mountain from afar.
