Pergunta: Quantas vidente pedras que Joseph Smith ter em sua posse?

Joseph tinha entre 2-4 pedras de vidente

Joseph usou primeiramente pedra de vidente de um vizinho (provavelmente Sally Chase, sobre o saldo de evidência histórica, apesar de existirem outras possibilidades) para descobrir a localização de, uma pedra em forma de pé do bebê marrom. A visão desta pedra provavelmente ocorreram em cerca de 1819–1820, e ele obteve sua primeira pedra de vidente em cerca de 1821–1822.^[1]

Joseph então utilizado esta primeira pedra para encontrar uma segunda pedra (uma branca). A cor ea seqüência de obter estas pedras tem sido muitas vezes confundido,^[2] e os leitores interessados em um tratamento em profundidade são referidas as notas finais.^[3]

Joseph viria a descobrir, pelo menos, mais duas pedras videntes em Nauvoo, às margens do Mississippi. Estas pedras parecem ter sido recolhidos mais por sua aparência, e há pouca evidência de Joseph usá-los nessa data final de sua carreira profética.^[4]
