Building with it

Three cobblestone and two sticks give a stone pickaxe with 131 uses, and it opens up iron, lapis and copper. It is the first tool that pays for itself: the ore it reaches is worth far more than the stone it costs, and cobblestone is the one material nobody ever runs short of.

In practice

Cobblestone is unlimited, so there is no reason to nurse a stone pickaxe. The correct approach is to carry two or three and treat them as disposable, which keeps the iron for a bucket and a shield rather than for a pickaxe you will replace anyway.
