The Home Stone is a stone, often plain in appearance, that serves in the Gorean setting as the embodiment of a place's identity. A city has a Home Stone; a household or free person's dwelling may also have one. Loyalty to a Home Stone is treated in the novels as a matter of the highest honour, and its defence is a first duty of those who share it.

The concept has become one of the most recognised symbols of Gorean tradition, and is widely adopted in Gorean community practice as a metaphor for hearth, household and belonging.

In community practice, Home Stones are sometimes used symbolically to mark the identity of a household, chatroom or gathering, without necessarily replicating every aspect of the fictional custom.
