There is a difference between rock and stone?

Does one of those is more durable from the other or something? for example if someone cut a 1 km rock mountain and a 1 km stone mountain this is the same thing or that different?

Size does not have any relevance to this.
I just want to know if there is a difference in the durability\density of rock and stone,the example was in order to show that
 
Rock and stone are synonyms. Of course some rocks will have different makeups, and thus different densities.
 
There's several kind of rocks, ones stronger than anothers. Generally we use granite when destroying natural rock, and when destroying man-made structures we use concrete; but if is already stated, we just look for them in internet.
 
This is just pure semantics.

As stated above, Rock and Stone both mean the same thing, it's the composition of said Rock/Stone that matters.
 
It's geometry have not so much actual relevance, but it's mass(weight) does. It's like guessing what energy a meteor will generate at it's impact of collision. Without having awarness of it's the speed or material components. Then after, it depends on how good you judge speed and relativity of the meteors position with possibility making.

Like a astroid or meteor accelerates into the earth's impulse, if it's coming closer and is heading straight to the pull of gravity, only the when it breaks through the atmosphere you know what it means. Death or heavy damage. Of course we by history of observation know what most asteroids/comets/meteors are made of, this was just a example.
