I pulled this from a post at another LDS information website.
The full entry:
PEEP STONES
See Devil, Revelation, Urim and Thummim. In imitation of the true order of heaven whereby seers receive revelations from God through a Urim and Thummim, the devil gives his own revelations to some of his followers through peep stones or crystal balls. An instance of this copying of the true order occured in the early days of this dispensation. Hiram Page had such a stone and was professing to have revelations for the upbuilding of Zion and governing of the Church. Oliver Cowdery and some others were wrongly influenced thereby in consequence of which Oliver was commanded by revelation: "Thou shalt take thy brother, Hiram Page, between him and thee alone, and tell him that those things which he hath written from that stone are not of me, and that Satan hath deceived him." (D&C 28:11)
if that is the quote then isn't he leaving something out - something that might cause people to search further into the facts such as Joseph had such a stone.

Is it from the Mormon Doctrine? Unfortunately, that book is not available in electronic form. One of my member friend has it but I can not borrow it permanently ....

It is interesting, isn't it?
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco - To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin. - Cardinal Bellarmine at the trial of Galilei

Regardless of what McConkie said, would it not be better if we all got stoned?
Urim and Thummim, eh? What about the stones in the Church vault?
I think that Elder McConkie never suspected that more information would
eventually come to light to put one more hole in the reliability of his Doctrine.

Amen to that, brother moksha.

Doctrine and Covenants Section 132 is in pretty very much in direct Contradiction to Jacob Chapter Two, in the Book of Mormon. Jacob Chapter two, in the Book of Mormon clearly and fully condemns the Practice of Polygamy. Please Check out and See:
But from a believers perspective, why would the patriarchal fathers be polygamous? Wouldn't that also contradict Jacob Chapter Two?
