what was so special about one of the stones?

Answer:
Because it's unique among Bronze Age megalithic sites. There are many sites with rows of standing stones and stone circles, but Stonehenge is the only survivor with the trilithon structures. It also contains stones that have apparently been dragged for over a hundred miles.
It's a huge site, too. There's far more there than just the obvious part. It's surrounded by dozens of barrows and other features that we know very little about. There appears to have been some kind of processional way, but what kinds of rituals were performed there, we don't know.
The whole thing is a tremendous mystery. But it was clearly a deeply important place at one time for all that labor to go into it.
