I had one! Christmas or birthday present from my dad. Don’t recall where it went, nor if I gave it a name.

I’ve got the Trump one! Grew 3 cycles of hair. Gathering dust somewhere until our next garage sale.

At the time of the craze, I visited the local university’s open day and found the student geological society was selling pet rocks. But they went one better than the original marketer. They provided a pedigree for your pet rock!
Well - it was labelled “Pedigree”, but was basically a description of how that particular type of rock formed. Quite educational really. Rather than being round, most had once faced sliced and polished, to show off the formation patterns in the rock.
And as well as the cheap stuff, they had also some really pretty (and expensive) pet rocks for sale, where the slicing process had revealed precious minerals or crystals hidden inside the rock.

I had to watch again just to get a better view of that tea cozy. A thing of beauty!

At least with the rock you actually get something for your money.
I absolutely can not wait until there’s a hard fork in the blockchain and suddenly there’s two legimate copies of every single NFT. NFT’s are stupid, but not as stupid as the people who buy them.
I got mine off the ground.
It’s probably still hanging out with my mood ring.

Docking rocks is cruel and should be banned. It prevents them from socialising properly, messes with their balance and can cause all kinds of fissuring issues in later life.

I bought one for my mom for mother’s day.
When she died a few years back, we found it when going through her things. It lives on my mantle now.

I saw some rocks for sale in a shop today – only these were grown-up meditation stones.
Almost obligatory
Beat me to it.
