I remember it being "the stones" before being changed to "the gems". [Snipping the rest] From where I stand, Riliane's line would be in reference to her "Kingdom of Evil" being built upon the gems (wealth) from taxation of her people. Since each seems to also be using the Chrono Story symbol as a euphamism for the vessels, you could also interpret it as the sins being what her evil kingdom is built upon.

In terms of accuracy, the term 石 means "stone" and "gem; jewel". As depicted in Chrono Story, they're gems/jewels. Rgvetta's legitimacy as a translator has been discussed and debunked before, so there's nothing really supporting a "stone" translation there. I can't speak for online translators; that's an individual thing. Each has their own reasoning.
