He also didn't look Anuk-ite directly in the eye. When the others turn to stone they look directly at Anuk-ite's eyes and it takes several seconds for the transformation to be complete. As soon as Stiles ran into the library, the Anuk-ite was focused on Scott and didn't focus on Stiles until after Stiles threw the mountain ash on the floor.

As far as the Anuk-ite turning to stone when covered with mountain ash, it's the first time we've seen a supernatural touch mountain ash in this way. In the past we've seen a barrier (circle or similar) and know a supernatural can't cross it. The only other time we've seen a large amount of mountain ash is in season 3B when Derek needed a way to retrieve the triskelion box inside the mountain ash filled chest. We don't know what would have happened had Derek tried to reach in and grab it.
