What is a Ton (assay) (US) [AT (US)]?

It is a historical mining and assaying mass unit used to define standard sample masses for precious-metal content analysis, with variations depending on jurisdiction and practice.

What is a Stone (US)?

The stone is a traditional British mass unit equal to 14 pounds and is used historically for body and commodity weights; in the US it has the same value but is rarely used.

Why convert from Ton (assay) (US) to Stone (US)?

This conversion is useful for interpreting mining assay data into traditional units like stone, especially in historical research, commodity weights, or when comparing different measurement systems.
