First is what we kw, n comes 'official description' followed by an analysis:
stone (Tesseract) - first stone to be introduced was also key to Thas' initial Loki-led invasion of Earth. At that time, stone was more of a means to get from to Earth, but of late, it's become a personal portal for Thas
Marvel's description of stone: Travel across any dimension

( use of 'dimension' makes this interesting. re are a number of dimensions that hide various secrets. Doctor Strange introduced us to mirror and dark dimension whereas Ant-Man is stuck in Quantum Realm as of end of his most recent film.)
Reality stone (Er) - er was kwn to be dangerous but its reality-bending properties only came to light in Infinity War. Earlier, it was considered a means to wipe out all light in universe and plunge it into darkness

(This description only serves to enlighten us as to uphill challenge that Avengers face)

Power stone ( Orb) - This one could be used to wipe out life on a planet. It required beings of tremendous power to wield, causing ordinary persons to disintegrate

Mind stone (Loki's staff, Vision) - This one created Ultron, powered Vision and instilled superhuman abilities in Wanda and Piotr Maximoff. It also housed a supercomputer that could be rendered in Stark's lab
Marvel's description of Mind stone - Create and alter consciousness
(We kw this stone is multipotent and it also occupies place-of-prime in Infinity Gauntlet. Is definition an extension of its power of does it sum it up accurately)
Time stone (Eye of Agamotto) - could be used to turn time backwards and forwards (as observed by Doctor Strange's using it on an Apple). Sorcerer Supreme also used it to put Dormammu in a time-loop and threatened to keep him re unless he left Earth alone
Marvel's description of Time stone: See future, alter past
(See future? See future? What happened to decomposing apple? This is a revision right? Could it have massive consequences?)
Soul Stone: Little is kwn apart from that it is special even among Infinity Stones and that it exacts a terrible price upon whoever comes to claim it
Marvel's description of Soul stone: Control life and death
('Control life and death' is a pretty useful power given that half life in universe has been wiped!)
