Have had minor flank pain for months and I found this in the toilet today.

They could, yes. May not be the entire stone, may just chipped/fragmented piece. Only a laboratory review will be able to tell with certainty.

Absolutely. I've passed stones I couldn't even see! They'd be seen on imaging, strain urine for a while, never find anything but they'd be gone on next imaging 🤷

Yup. Case in point... [https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM1WvY-fWB7vZ8h00ZPtiaRCOvvyrw9B3wlkqFR](https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM1WvY-fWB7vZ8h00ZPtiaRCOvvyrw9B3wlkqFR) That was this week, prior to me passing a 5.5 cm stone.
