Stone (US)

The stone (US) is a unit of weight occasionally used in the United States but much less common than in the UK. In the US, a stone is typically defined as 14 pounds (about 6.35 kilograms), the same as the British stone.

However, the stone is not widely used in American everyday measurements or commerce; it mainly appears in some historical contexts or among communities familiar with British units.
