Yes, I’m afraid. Like all natural resources, there is a risk that evolution stones will one day run out. However, because known veins of evolution stones are numerous at the moment and because there are limits on how much humans can mine at one time (not only for practical reasons but also safety), it’s doubtful that we’ll run out anytime soon.
Also, as I’ve said in my previous post, there are ways for discarded or “replanted” stones to be recharged, although this will take thousands of years. Still, in a way, that’s like any other natural resource as well. As much as humanity takes from nature, nature will likely find ways to right itself and heal over the damage done to it. The catch is that it always happens long after humans leave it alone.
