First of all, I need to clarify something. The origin of the stone is not specific, as the stone is said to have been spinned by Maatar, Maatar's son and a piece of her liver, but also the "heart's cone of Syöjätär", son of Lempo, and "made by Tuulihattara" or "Kimahattara/Kimmashattara". Or maybe "Kimmas" is the name of the stone itself? The appearance of hattara, a female demon, is consistent, but so is the appearance of Maatar, the Earth Mother. Of course you can assume that the Earth Mother is the same as the goddess of cold wind, the daughter of Louhi. I am a bit hesitant to make such an equation though, as a White Karelian runosong implies that this daughter is actually an "employee" of the Earth Mother.
Clearly the stones and rocks come from the ground, thus connected to earth, but it's been theorized that demonic figures got added in because stones in fields were very bothersome for farmers. "Kimmon kammon", "kimma kamma", etc doesn't mean anything which is why I don't think that is the original version of the line.
