*Nordstrom is selling a rock on its website for $85.*

Perhaps even more unbelievable than the fact that Nordstrom is selling a rock on its website for $85, the aforementioned stone has sold out online.

The [$85 leather-wrapped rock](http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/made-solid-medium-leather-wrapped-stone/4497177?) sold out at Nordstrom's online store after the product went [viral on social media](https://money.com/nordstrom-rock-leather/). A smaller version of the stone, priced at a mere $65, is also out of stock on the retailer's website.

The stone hails from Los Angeles and comes wrapped in vegetable-tanned American leather and secured with a whipstitch, the company has said. It was designed by a company called Made Solid and has been for sale since Nov. 18.

The rock's leather pouch is handmade, having undergone a traditional hardening process, "only Mother Earth can take credit for the rocks," Nordstrom [told BuzzFeed News](https://www.buzzfeed.com/mbvd/nordstrom-is-selling-a-rock-in-a-leather-case-for-85-dollars?utm_term=.hgwWKwK18#.qaxBRYRvN).

Nordstrom isn't quite sure about what the purpose of the rock is. "A paperweight? A conversation piece? A work of art? It's up to you," a description on the company's website reads.

Perplexed shoppers took to social media to question—and mock—Nordstrom for selling a pricy rock:

Though Nordstrom has sold out of the rocks online, there were still two stones available for sale at the retailer's Michigan Avenue Store in Chicago, [CNN Money reported](http://money.cnn.com/2016/12/07/news/companies/nordstrom-rock-sold-out/).
