The Palantíri (sometimes translated as "Seeing Stones") are stones that can be used in communication with one another, and also to see many things across the face of the world. When its master looks in it, he can communicate with other Stones and anyone who might be looking into them; people of great power can manipulate the Stones to see virtually any part of the world.
The Anor-stone is the Gondorian Palantír kept at Minas Tirith, taking its name from the older title of that city, Minas Anor. It was kept an unused secret by the Ruling Stewards until it was ultimately used by Steward Denethor II to watch his land.
