Morphology

lithomancer = litho + mancer

The word is a classical formation meaning 'stone-diviner', but its bound components are not transparent enough for an average learner to recover the meaning from form alone.

Etymology

Lithomancer comes from Greek parts: litho- meaning 'stone' and -mancer meaning 'one who reads signs', as in necromancer. So a lithomancer is someone who reads stones to tell the future.
