Sometime after Cadmus's death (or perhaps even by Cadmus himself), the Resurrection Stone was fitted into a ring. This ring was passed down as a family heirloom for the Peverell family, and eventually the Gaunt family, as knowledge of what the Stone was, and even what the symbol on it meant, became lost.
What happens with Harry and the Resurrection Stone?
The Stone's power really just reminded the dude and his ghost love of what they were missing, rather than making them feel like they were together again. Dumbledore left Harry the Resurrection Stone (disguised in a Snitch) in his will, and Harry uses it just before he goes to battle Voldemort.Why does Harry drop the resurrection stone at the end?
Harry didn't want Voldemort getting the StoneHe truly thought that there was no way out for him and he didn't want Voldemort or his evil cronies to get their hands on the stone. So he hid it the best way he could in the short time he had: by dropping it amidst similar-looking ordinary stones.
