A new item for sale on Nordstrom’s website is causing a stir on the internet.

The site has a ‘Medium Leather Wrapped Stone’ is available for a cool $85.

The website gives a detailed description of the stone:

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 whipstitching—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.

The stone has a 100 percent five star rating, and the reviews are pretty interesting.

“Don’t get caught unprotected if you run into a Goliath. Also great for impromptu stonings of local witches. Don’t get caught unprepared,” reviewer Davetheking said.

“It’s a lady magnet. You’ll never be alone if you have this stone in the pocket of your pants,” MP1214 said.

If you’re in the market for something smaller, there’s another stone that’s selling for $65.
