What really is a kidney stone?

They are nasty solid concretions of dissolved minerals in urine; calculi typically form inside the kidneys or bladder.

These secretions are then passed to the bladder and out of the body as urine.

Some of the substances found in urine are able to crystalize, and in a concentrated form these chemicals can precipitate into a solid deposit attached to the kidney walls. These crystals can grow through a process of accretion to form a kidney stone.
