Definition
A stone (st) is an imperial unit of mass equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35029 kilograms.
History
The stone has been used as a weight measure in England and Ireland since at least the 14th century. Different commodities historically used different stone weights; the 14-pound stone was standardized in 1835 by the British Weights and Measures Act.

Stones are primarily used in the United Kingdom and Ireland to express body weight (e.g., '11 stone 4 pounds'). They are not used in the United States or most other countries.
Decagrams (dag)

History
The decagram is part of the original metric system. It has found particular use in Central European and Italian markets for weighing food products, where it is known as 'deca' or 'deka'.
Current use
Decagrams are commonly used in Italy, Austria, and other Central European countries for deli counter purchases (e.g., '10 deca of ham' = 100 g). They are abbreviated 'dag' or 'dkg' in these regions.
