Nordstrom is selling a Leather Wrapped Stone that has caused some controversy due to the fact that it essentially is a rock.
The product is selling for a whopping $85 and comes in the form of a rock that is wrapped in a tan leather encasing that only covers half of the item. The product has caused some controversy due to the fact that it is making a standard piece of rock luxurious using nothing but marketing and a leather case. The Leather Wrapped Stone does have a function, as it is being touted as a paperweight.
This unusual product brings to mind the days when people bought 'Pet Rocks,' another phenomenon that left many people scratching their heads.
