Note 1 - Business And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	12 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Business Activities
	Ironstone Group, Inc. and subsidiaries have no operations but are seeking appropriate business combination opportunities. Ironstone Group, Inc, (“Ironstone” or the “Company”) a Delaware corporation, was incorporated in 1972.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ironstone Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, AcadiEnergy, Inc., Belt Perry Associates, Inc., DeMoss Corporation, and TaxNet, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities
	Marketable and non-marketable securities have been classified by management as available for sale in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, marketable securities are recorded at fair value and any unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments at December 31, 2013 is based on quoted market prices. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. For marketable securities for which there is an other-than-temporary impairment, an impairment loss is recognized as a realized loss, and related adjustments are not made for recovery in value.
	Securities determined to be non-marketable by the Company do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using various pricing models and the information available to the Company that it deems most relevant. Among the factors considered by the Company in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flows, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price of publicly traded securities with similar duration and yield, the Black-Scholes Options Valuation methodology adjusted for active market, the share price of a recent round of a financings by an outsider, and other considerations on a case-by-case basis and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in the financial statements relate to the valuation of the Company’s non-marketable investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Income Taxes
	The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	Ironstone follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Company to determine whether a tax position of Ironstone is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The Company has determined that there is no effect on the financial statements from this authoritative guidance.
	The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of December 31, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2010 forward (with limited exceptions).
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income taxes in its statement of operations.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Ironstone recognizes the fair value of stock options granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the option grant, which is the standard vesting term of four years.
	Ironstone recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10,326 during the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, Ironstone had an aggregate of $80,765 of stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized to expense over the remaining requisite service period of the underlying options. Ironstone currently expects this stock-based compensation balance to be amortized as follows: $22,747 during fiscal year 2014; $22,747 during fiscal year 2015; $22,747 during fiscal year 2016 and $12,524 during fiscal year 2017.
	The full impact of stock-based compensation in the future is dependent upon, among other things, the total number of stock options granted, the fair value of the stock options at the time of grant and the tax benefit that Ironstone may or may not receive from stock-based expenses. Additionally, stock-based compensation requires the use of an option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards. This determination of fair value is affected by Ironstone’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, Ironstone’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards.
	Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
	Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution from potentially dilutive securities, except where inclusion of such potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect, using the average stock price during the period in the computation and because of the net loss for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2013, the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities.
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to the presentation in the current period. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss or total stockholders' equity.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present parenthetically (on the face of the financial statements, in the notes, or in some cases, cross-referenced to related footnote disclosures) significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The amendment is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this amendment in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as the Company only has one category relating to accumulated other comprehensive income, available-for-sale securities, and no amounts were reclassified for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Liquidity
	As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has net losses and has a negative cash flow from operations. If necessary the Company may seek to sell additional debt or equity securities or enter into new credit facilities to meet its cash needs. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to complete any financing or liquidity transaction, that such financing or liquidity transaction will be adequate for the Company’s needs, or that a financing or liquidity transaction will be completed in a timely manner. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	'
	2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	The Company adopted ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures”. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under ASC 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value under ASC 820 must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:
	Level 1–Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 instruments. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
	Level 2–Valuations based on one or more quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
	Level 3–Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
	In all cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Market values were determined for each security in the investment portfolio based on quoted market prices and quoted market prices for similar securities. The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 by the fair value hierarchy:
		Level 1			Level 2		Level 3		Balance as of

	Total	$	15,778		$	1,075,870	$	-	$	1,091,648
	The following table presents the Company’s investments measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), including the valuation technique and unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of those financial instruments:
		Fair Value as of		Valuation Technique		Unobservable Inputs
		December 31,
		2013
	Non-marketable securities	$	2,001,919	A recent round of financing		Third party transaction

		December 31,
		2012
	Non-marketable securities	$	1,075,870	A recent sale to unrelated third parties and market comparable analysis		Third party transaction and comparable company multiples
	The following table presents additional information about Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis for fiscal year 2013. Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, unrealized gains or (losses) during the period for assets and liabilities within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value during the period that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs.

	Unrealized gain on investments		1,001,919
	Balance as of December 31, 2013	$	2,001,919
	Transfers of financial instruments occur when there are changes in pricing observability levels. Transfers of financial instruments among the levels occur at the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers into Level 3 for fiscal year 2013 are attributed to the lack of observable inputs available for these securities beginning January 1, 2013. Transfers out of Level 3 during fiscal year 2013 are attributed to the April 24, 2013 conversion of Salon Media Group, Inc. Series C Preferred Stock into Salon Media Group, Inc. Common Stock, which is publicly traded.

	TangoMe, Inc.
	On March 30, 2012, the Company purchased 468,121 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued by TangoMe, Inc., from related party William R. Hambrecht at $2.14 per share, resulting in a total investment of $1,000,000. The value of this transaction was determined using the fair value of similar securities sold to unrelated third parties and was determined by management to be the best estimate of fair value as of December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1,001,919, bringing the total value of the investment in TangoMe, Inc. to $2,001,919 as of December 31, 2013. The fair value as of December 31, 2013 is based on similar securities sold to certain related and unrelated third parties, see Note 9. The use of a recent round of financing for TangoMe, Inc. is the primary significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s investment.  Significant increases (decreases) in any subsequent rounds of financing would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
	Salon Media Group, Inc.

	In connection with the note agreement, the Company also issued warrants with a 10-year term to this third party to purchase 187,296 shares of the Company’s common stock, for total consideration of $1. If the third party elects to purchase only a portion of the allotted shares, then the purchase price shall be prorated for the portion purchased. The warrants were separately valued using the Black-Scholes model, and it was determined the fair value of the warrants at March 31, 2012 was $56,188. This amount has been recorded as a discount on the $1,000,000 note payable and will be amortized over the 5 year term of the note. For the year ended December 31, 2013, accretion of the note payable discount was $5,560 and the remaining unamortized balance was $46,414.
	The inputs to the Black-Scholes model were as follows: Stock price at March 31, 2012 of $0.30 per share; exercise price of $.000005 per share; Expected term of 10 years; Risk-free interest rate of 4.84%; Dividend rate of 0; Volatility of 60%. All 187,296 warrants were issued and outstanding at December 31, 2013.

	Furthermore, during 2013 the Company entered into a note payable agreement with a related party, William R. Hambrecht. This note carries a 7.75% interest rate per annum and has a maturity date of December 31, 2014.

	7. INCOME TAXES
	ASC 740, “Income Taxes” requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (i) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and (ii) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company's deferred income taxes at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
		2013			2012
	Deferred tax assets:
	Operating loss carryforward	$	809,000		$	761,000
	Unrealized (gain) loss on marketable securities		(415,000	)		300,000
	Less valuation allowance		(394,000	)		(1,061,000	)
	Deferred tax assets – net		-			-
	Deferred tax liability – unrealized gain on marketable securities		-			-
	Deferred income taxes – net	$	-		$	-
	The reasons for the difference between the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to losses before income tax benefit and the actual income tax benefit for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
		2013			2012
	Expected income tax benefit	$	58,000		$	48,000
	State income tax benefit, net of federal tax		9,000			7,000
	Total before valuation allowance		(67,000	)		( 55,000	)
	Change in valuation allowance		67,000			55,000
	Income tax benefit	$	-		$	-
	Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an annual limitation on the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income when an ownership change occurs. Due to the redemption of shares of common stock in 2003, the Company underwent such an “ownership change.” Therefore, the Company’s use of losses incurred through the date of the “ownership change” will be limited to approximately $49,000 per year.
	In the opinion of management, based on the uncertainty that the Company will be able to generate taxable income in the future, the realization of the loss carryforwards is not likely and, accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded to offset such amount in its entirety.
	The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and the state of California. All tax years are subject to examination by the U.S. and California tax authorities due to the carryforward of unutilized net operating losses. The Company had no accrual for interest or penalties on the balance sheet at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, the treasury shares are held by the Company.
	Preferred Stock
	The Company is authorized to issue up to five million shares of preferred stock without further shareholder approval; the rights, preferences and privileges of which would be determined at the time of issuance. No shares have been issued as of December 31, 2013.
	Stock Option Plans
	The Company has adopted a 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. As of January 30, 2013, 187,296 shares were available for grant under the Plan.

	The Company received cash totaling $230,000 in December, 2013 relating to a stock purchase agreement with certain new investors and certain of its existing investors, including related parties. The stock purchase was finalized on January 2, 2014 when the funds were used to purchase 131,429 shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.75 per share.
	Additionally, on March 30, 2012 the Company purchased 468,121 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of TangoMe, Inc. for $2.14 per share. Subsequent to December 31, 2013, a round of financing for the TangoMe, Inc. non-marketable securities took place. This round of financing valued the shares at $4.28 per share. The Company determined that the new share price approximated fair value of shares owned by the Company as of December 31, 2013. Based on the new share price, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1,001,919 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	On January 2, 2014 Mr. Thomas Thurston was appointed to the Board of Directors.
	The Company evaluated subsequent events to the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. Other than the matters noted above, there were no other material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these consolidated financial statements.

	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ironstone Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, AcadiEnergy, Inc., Belt Perry Associates, Inc., DeMoss Corporation, and TaxNet, Inc. (collectively the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities [Policy Text Block]	'
	Marketable and Non-Marketable Securities
	Marketable and non-marketable securities have been classified by management as available for sale in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 320, marketable securities are recorded at fair value and any unrealized gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders’ equity until realized. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities and investments at December 31, 2013 is based on quoted market prices. For the purpose of computing realized gains and losses, cost is identified on a specific identification basis. For marketable securities for which there is an other-than-temporary impairment, an impairment loss is recognized as a realized loss, and related adjustments are not made for recovery in value.
	Securities determined to be non-marketable by the Company do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of these instruments using various pricing models and the information available to the Company that it deems most relevant. Among the factors considered by the Company in determining the fair value of financial instruments are discounted anticipated cash flows, the cost, terms and liquidity of the instrument, the financial condition, operating results and credit ratings of the issuer or underlying company, the quoted market price of publicly traded securities with similar duration and yield, the Black-Scholes Options Valuation methodology adjusted for active market, the share price of a recent round of a financings by an outsider, and other considerations on a case-by-case basis and other factors generally pertinent to the valuation of financial instruments.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in the financial statements relate to the valuation of the Company’s non-marketable investments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Income Taxes
	The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Deferred income taxes are also recognized for net operating loss carryforwards that are available to offset future taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
	Ironstone follows the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Company to determine whether a tax position of Ironstone is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the tax amount recognized in the financial statements is reduced by the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant taxing authority. The Company has determined that there is no effect on the financial statements from this authoritative guidance.
	The Company files tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local, and foreign jurisdictions, where applicable. As of December 31, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2010 forward (with limited exceptions).
	During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalties related to income taxes in its statement of operations.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Ironstone recognizes the fair value of stock options granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the option grant, which is the standard vesting term of four years.
	Ironstone recognized stock-based compensation expense of $10,326 during the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013, Ironstone had an aggregate of $80,765 of stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized to expense over the remaining requisite service period of the underlying options. Ironstone currently expects this stock-based compensation balance to be amortized as follows: $22,747 during fiscal year 2014; $22,747 during fiscal year 2015; $22,747 during fiscal year 2016 and $12,524 during fiscal year 2017.
	The full impact of stock-based compensation in the future is dependent upon, among other things, the total number of stock options granted, the fair value of the stock options at the time of grant and the tax benefit that Ironstone may or may not receive from stock-based expenses. Additionally, stock-based compensation requires the use of an option-pricing model to determine the fair value of stock option awards. This determination of fair value is affected by Ironstone’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, Ironstone’s expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Basic and Diluted Loss per Share
	Basic loss per share (“EPS”) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution from potentially dilutive securities, except where inclusion of such potentially dilutive securities would have an anti-dilutive effect, using the average stock price during the period in the computation and because of the net loss for the periods presented. As of December 31, 2013, the Company does not have any potentially dilutive securities.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to the presentation in the current period. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss or total stockholders' equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present parenthetically (on the face of the financial statements, in the notes, or in some cases, cross-referenced to related footnote disclosures) significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification. The amendment is effective prospectively for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this amendment in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements as the Company only has one category relating to accumulated other comprehensive income, available-for-sale securities, and no amounts were reclassified for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Liquidity Disclosure [Policy Text Block]	'
	Liquidity
	As reflected in the accompanying financial statements the Company has net losses and has a negative cash flow from operations. If necessary the Company may seek to sell additional debt or equity securities or enter into new credit facilities to meet its cash needs. The Company cannot make assurances that it will be able to complete any financing or liquidity transaction, that such financing or liquidity transaction will be adequate for the Company’s needs, or that a financing or liquidity transaction will be completed in a timely manner. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
