The 2012 Stone is one of the rarest obstacles ever to exist in Clash of Clans, spawning only during the game's earliest days shortly after its global launch on August 2, 2012. This large 3×3 grey boulder appeared randomly on Home Villages and rewards Gems upon clearing — making it extraordinarily valuable. Only a tiny fraction of veteran players who've been active since 2012 still have this stone sitting untouched. The community regards it as the ultimate trophy of loyalty, with dedicated Reddit threads and YouTube videos showcasing players who've preserved it for over a decade.
