This is the first time I hear about "stone".

It's 6.35 kg for anyone too lazy to look it up.

My parents (born in Australia in the 1960s) used to use stone, just for weighing people. Everything else is in grams or kilograms.

The older generation in Australia do still use stone a lot, in my experience.

My mum used to use stone, but stopped using it in the mid 2000s I think. It's definitely less common than it used to be!
