History[]
Prior to the series[]

After Lloyd and Cole were both trapped with a Vengestone ball and chain as well, Cole used his first wish from Nadakhan to make Vengestone strengthen their powers instead of canceling them.

Appearance[]
Vengestone looks like regular stone, except it has marks around it with a yellow or orange glow.

In Sons of Garmadon and Hunted the glows were orange and since Prime Empire, the markings are yellow.

Trivia[]
- Vengestone does not keep dragons from using their powers. Its only effect on the dragons seem to be that it is strong enough to keep them from escaping, or it may weaken their powers.
- The same can be said for how Vengestone affects Ghosts, it only weakens them not destroy them.
- Shintaro Mountain contains mines that bears Vengestone.
- Vengestone is similar and seems inspired from Seastone in One Piece, since Seastone can nullify Devil fruit powers, just like Elemental Powers with Vengestone.
- Though Seastone nullifies Devil fruit users instead of Devil fruit powers, rendering them unable to move or use their powers willingly.
- It is one of the few materials available in multiple realms.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, Vengestone is likely "a[n] unhealthy by-product of some cataclysmic event."[4]
- According to Tommy Andreasen, he theorized that Vengestone was most likely formed when the First Spinjitzu Master is trying to get rid of his Oni side and thus created the Overlord, who saturated half of Ninjago.
- Despite the fact that in all other seasons Vengestone is called in the Czech dubbing in the same way as in the original, only in the Czech language, in Season 6 and 7 it is called the "antielemental stone".
- Although Vengestone seems common enough, seeing that most of the villains the ninja have fought use Vengestone, in "The Skull Sorcerer," King Vangelis claims that he's been selling Vengestone from the mines to Harumi, thus making the availability of the substance quite ambiguous.
- In "A Sinister Shadow," Harumi also claimed that Vengestone is difficult to obtain, and it took her some time to find it before learning about the Vengestone mines.
- It is possible that she meant finding such large quantities of Vengestone is difficult, given that she needed to construct an entire army from it.
- In "A Sinister Shadow," Harumi also claimed that Vengestone is difficult to obtain, and it took her some time to find it before learning about the Vengestone mines.
- In "Farewell the Sea," Wu states that Vengestone's only practical purpose is to negate Elemental Power.
- In 71719 Zane's Mino Creature, the Vengestone armor on Zane's Mino is transparent blue instead of transparent orange.
- According to Tommy Andreasen, Vengestone would "most likely not" block an Oni's power.[5]
- This is seen when Lloyd uses his Oni power to break out of the Vengestone cage that Harumi put him in.
- Despite the fact that Vengestone suppresses elemental powers, Kai was able to use fire to melt together Vengestone chains to immobilize the Colossus in "Green Destiny." The same happened in "The Day of the Dragon" when Kai used Fire to melt the Vengestone chains he and Skylor were chained to.
- A tiny amount of Vengestone can disable an Elemental Master's powers.[6]
- In the German dub, Vengestone and Deepstone are no longer distinguished since Season 6: Skybound and both are simply reffered to as Tiefenstein ("Deepstone").
- In All of Nothing, Vengestone is still translated correctly as Rachestein.
