I have an iPhone 6 that I use to take my not so great, well not even not so good pics with.
I've read that I need to purchase an 18% gray board to help with lighting issues.

Thoughts? Links? Ideas? Please.

PS: I know that I need to purchase more than a gray board, however I'm on tight budget, so atm I can only start w/a board...or at least something in the $20 or less range, whether it's a board or something else.

try any of your local photography shops. B&H or Adorama should have what you want within your price range for example:

I just use a white index card to set white balance.

If you cannot adjust the "white balance" on your iPhone you are wasting money.

Would using this stone from my coffee table work in place of a gray card? Or not so much?

The bottom photograph was taken on my laptop. The gray stone is the top.
