stone ice cubes really put your drinks on the rocks

Wanna look really cool at your next party? When you ask your pals if they’d like a cocktail ask if they want it on the rocks. If they say yes, fix their drinks and bring ‘em back with some of these ice cubes that are actually made from stone.
Just chill these special ice cube rocks in your freezer for about an hour before use. 2 or 3 rocks should keep your drinks nice and chilled. Originating from Sweden, the cubes are cut from a natural stone called Nordic Rock, known for its ability to retain cold (and to occasionally carry a tune). When not in use, you can keep the rocks in the included leather pouch. This also serves as a handy weapon if you feel the need to beat someone over the head.
You can grab a set of 10 rocks from UK gift retailer Mocha for £15.99 (appx. $29 USD). Rock on!

haha I love this. They’ll never melt or water down your drink! ..Can’t chew them though..
That is true. I usually like to chomp on my ice cubes after I’m done with my drink. Oh well, what’s a little dental work?
Well, Sweden wasn’t first.
December 2007 I bought those for souvenir:

Made by polish designer, not to metion their got “coolest” look and better finish. There were also some special stone used for better cold keeping. Only minus is lack of leather pouch
Sorry, I should have pasted link for english version of the site: http://www.chillrocks.com/en/products/page.html
You are both wrong. The swedes nor the poles are the first to design this cool item.
It was the finnish designer, Ari Turunen, who created them back in the 80’s made out of soapstone. Check out these links:
