Here’s one I found from Pathfinder:

Scarlet and Green Cabochon: grants you the Endurance feat (Pathfinder, Pathfinder Chronicles Seekers of Secrets).

Great list Jon!

Well, perhaps I can contribute the substance of the stones from the Spells & Spellcraft book.

I've included the Strategic Review ioun stones by their appearance in the later AD&D books. The ioun stones' origin in Strategic Review #4 is described in a more recent article, History of the Ioun Stone.

Also, I almost forgot — the Singing Ioun Stone should probably be 3E or 3.5.

You might want to add the IOUN Stones from their first D&D appearance in the Original game -- The Strategic Review Issue #4. Gary had only nine: incandescent blue sphere (adds to caster level), scarlet & blue sphere (adds to intelligence), deep red sphere (adds to strength), pink ellipsoid (adds to constitution), pink & green ellipsoid (absorbs 10-40 spell levels up to 4th level), pale green ellipsoid (absorbs 20-80 spell levels 5th to 8th level), pale lavender spindle (sustains w/o food & water), pearly white prism (regeneration) and clear prism (stores 2-12 spell levels). There is also a writeup of Ioun Stones in The Dying Earth RPG where their powers more closely resemble their appearance in the short story "Morreion." There's also the Ioun Beholder in Sword & Sorcery Studios Creature Collection II -- that one's nasty!
