Quote from Nordstrom :
Details & Care


A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you, but this smooth Los Angeles-area stone—wrapped in rich, vegetable-tanned American leather secured by sturdy contrast backstitching—is sure to draw attention wherever it rests. A traditional hardening process gives the leather a beautiful ombré effect. Like all Made Solid leather pieces, this one is cut, shaped, sewn and finished by hand in artist Peter Maxwell's Los Angeles studio. Using vintage leatherworking tools and traditional saddle-stitching techniques, Maxwell aims to create beautiful designs that embody both simplicity and functionality, and that develop rich character and patina over time.

Quote :
The product was designed by a company called Made Solid and has been for sale since Nov. 18, Nordstrom spokeswoman Brie Cross told BuzzFeed News. The handmade part of the product was the leather pouch, but "only Mother Earth can take credit for rocks," she said. The description of the product would be updated to make this clear, Cross added.
Made Solid told BuzzFeed News that the company called the product "Wrapped Stone" and emphasized that "it's not a joke." They described them as "really cool, labor-intensive objects that are used as everything from paperweights to doorstops to home/display accents."

The company said the rock was "one of our most consistently popular items, actually," and that the last time they had done a sale with Nordstrom "they sold out at most stores."

Made Solid added that it sources stones from "select reps that can legally pull them from our local mountains for use in landscaping."

Wow, inflation is just out of control. Back in the 1970s you could get a Pet Rock for $4, completed with a crate that had bedding and air holes.

Heck, a few years back you could get a USB Pet Rock from ThinkGeek for ten bucks.
