| [[File:Communicationstoneancient.jpg|300px|thumb]] Device of [[Ancients|Ancient]] design allowing two individuals communication and sight through the other's eyes -- effectively [[body trading|trading]] the conscious minds of the two linked people. When interfaced with a [[long-range communication device]], the stones allow the user to take direct control over the body of another being, but without infringing on their privacy by directly accessing memories. | | #REDIRECT[[Communication stone]] |

|
| [[SG-1]] first retrieved two of the stones from [[P3R-233]], the same planet where the [[quantum mirror]] was discovered. It was several years, however, before they knew what the stones are or how they operate. The same technology was also found in the Pegasus Galaxy, and is in regular use on board the ''[[Destiny]]'' to communicate with Homeworld Command and loved ones back on [[Earth]].

| | |
| This trading of bodies is not limited to those with human (Ancient-like) physiology. On several occasions a connection has been made between ''Destiny'' personnel and a member of a hostile alien species.
| |
| | |
| The technology has at least two flaws: the link is temporarily severed whenever the Destiny goes in and out of [[F.T.L.]] speeds, and some users experience dreams of their host's past experiences hours after the connection is broken. This may be limited only to those who have been previously subject to brainwashing techniques (such as [[David Telford]]).
