Nordstrom sells `elegant` leather-wrapped rock for $85
SEATTLE -- This is the story of a rock. A rock wrapped in leather and sold for $85 at Nordstrom.
The "Medium Leather Wrapped Stone" has suddenly become an internet joke. It's been on sale all year, but last week several Twitter users discovered the unusual gift during their holiday shopping.
Here's the item description:
The item had some ... interesting reviews too. One reviewer claimed the stone was not "handmade" as advertised in the description. Another demanded instructions about how to "turn it on."
Not to be outdone, the Seattle-based retailer found out about the buzz and began posting photos on Instagram of the stone in various situations.

And apparently the stone was popular enough to sell out. As of Wednesday, Nordstrom's website says the product is not available. Darn.
The good news? The stone apparently comes in a smaller size for $65.
Or you could just go outside, grab a rock and wrap it in something.
