Durin's Stone was a pillar that stood on the banks of Mirrormere lake near the East-gate of Khazad-dûm.
According to the Dwarves of Durin's Folk, it was built on the site where Durin the Deathless looked down in the lake and saw a crown above his head; its purpose was to mark the event.
Balin was slain on that spot in Third Age 2994.
