It depends in what context. generally if someone sais rune stones, they mean the Norse ones from either Younger Futhark, Elder Futhark or possible Anglo-Saxon Futhark. The most common of these is Elder Futhark. Rune Stones themselves were traditionally used for divination, but runes with chants or the stones can be used for magic or writing. when writing in them though, it comes more complicated because although a runes might mean a letter, it also means a physical object. For example. the rune for "A" also means cattle and livestock i think. you get the general idea.

Runes are the Viking alphabet. A rune is a symbol that stands for a sound.

The runic alphabet was called the Futhark, and there were various versions of it. The original Elder Futhark had 24 runes. In Iceland, it was reduced down to 16-18, while the anglo-saxons expanded it up to 32 runes.

A google search of "Futhark" will show what they looked like.

The Futhark was called "Futhark" because of the first six runes. Fehu, Uruz, Thurisaz, Ansuz, Raido, Kenaz.

F-U-Th-A-R-K, just as the roman "alphabet" is called that because of the first two letters. Alpha-Beta.
