S6E19 · The Krotons Part 1
Vana’s Catatonia and the Crew’s Relocation

The stones (mica) are used by the Doctor and Thara to jam the Dynatrope’s gas nozzles, preventing the lethal gas from reaching Vana. Their improvised use highlights the group’s resourcefulness in the face of the Krotons’ technology.
