cartoon or anime where there was a kid with a magic stone that could summon a magical creature [duplicate]

Question

in Canada, I don't remember specifics but what I remember was that the show had a boy that could summon a magical creature from a stone and I think I watched it before 2010. It was in English and I think it may have been 2008 or close to when I first saw it. Also I think the creature was some kind of tiger or elephant like thing, I don't entirely remember. Cant remember what the boy looked like though. The boy was young though. the stone also was about the size of his hand and had a symbol of some kind, he could also get more than 1. the style of the show was also a bit old. The only two things I remember is near the beginning he is in a jungle or forest and later in a snowy rock area.

Answer 1

With the additional details, that sounds like it could be Magi-Nation as per Anime with gems that can summon beasts to fight for the user, one is a purple turtle.

Three thousand years ago in the Moonlands, the evil Shadow Magi Agram was sealed inside the planet's Core by the Core Glyph and the Dreamstones which provided its power. Now he plans to escape by using his Shadow Geysers to weaken his prison in order to bring the Moonlands under his control, and only a Magi known as the "Final Dreamer" can stop him. A young boy from Earth, Tony Jones, is summoned into the Moonlands as he is believed to be this Final Dreamer. He joins forces with the apprentice Magi, Edyn, and the Shadow Stalker, Strag, on a mission to gather the Dreamstones before Agram is set free. Using the Book of Elders, the three travel through the Moonlands while combatting the forces of Agram and gaining an ever-growing collection of Dream Creatures from the Moonlands that they visit.

As you can see in the image, Tony's creature, Furok, does look somewhat tiger-like.

One thing that does not match is that the animite crystals they use to summon the Dream Creatures just look like crystals:

Answer 2

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will probably wind up being Huntik: Secrets and Seekers as per Animated show with character who has a stone that summons creatures.

Lok and Sophie happen upon a journal left by Lok's father. The Organization, a group of evil Seekers, is after the book, and to survive they must join a group of good Seekers under master adventurer Dante and lone wolf Zhalia.

It's an amulet he uses, but it does look a bit like a stone.
