Yes eating chalk regularly can cause kidney stone, since you are eating it from long time you must have become immune to it, you have calcium deficiency that's why you eat chalk. It can be harmful at later stage, form a habit to eat calcium tablets instead, these will be useful. To be sure that stone in the kidney not formed, do get x-rayed to know the facts.

this article on chalk dust but imagine u r eating chalk means?
There are two separate issues buried in the question of chalk dust safety. In one sense, the main ingredients of chalk dust are considered to be non-toxic, which simply means they do not pose a threat when ingested. In another sense, chalk dust can and does accumulate in the human respiratory system, which means it can create long-term health problems due to overexposure. In short, swallowing a piece of white chalkboard chalk won't kill you, but breathing in chalk dust for a number of years can create or trigger respiratory problems.
Chalk dust is the natural by-product of using a chalk crayon on a blackboard. As the chalk is scraped across the rough surface of the chalkboard, particles of chalk dust are sent out into the surrounding air. Some of this chalk dust settles to the ground or is ventilated outside, but much of it falls on clothing, furniture, electronic equipment and shelves. Teachers and students also inhale a portion of this chalk dust, which usually becomes trapped in the mucus layers of the throat and upper lungs.
