Actually, you just struck upon an important point. The last 3 stones that I
have bought were NOT from the person that killed the HG/SG/Griffon or
whatever, but instead by some wanderer that happen to see an unlooted
corpse.
These things are being left to rot because you can only have one at a time
and they just aren't worth the time to sell them before killing your next
HG/SG/Griffon etc.
