The original description (that I saw) I think went something like (an enchanted piece of flint)

I was actually thinkin whether it's big enough to be shot with a sling. Actually I think the thunderstone magic predates slings by a great deal, but there is some obvious connection to slings. A thunderstone ( a piece of flint, holding a small portion of Orlanths (Umaths?) thunder) can crack somebodys head open... in these later days one can also use a sling (especially if one is not a skald)
