Best Answer

You are conflating two different things. 1) The two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments were given by God to the Israelites (Exodus 31:18) and kept in the Ark (Exodus ch.25), and their location is no longer known.

2) Synagogues sometimes display portrayals of the Two Tablets, but this is not a requirement, and many synagogues do not have this symbolic replica. Those that do, may make them out of wood or any other material. Actual stone replicas are not common.
