On the rocks -- for real

Andrew Hellman likes his drinks on the rocks. So, he invented "rocks" that will chill the drink.

Hellman, co-founder of the tableware company Teroforma, came up with processed soapstone rocks that you store in the freezer for several hours before using. The rocks will not dilute the drink and also will not scratch glass.

The rocks, milled to the size of sugar cubes at the Vermont Soapstone company's facility in Perkinsville, VT, are sold in sets of nine in a muslin storage bag for $20. Teroforma suggests them only for small drinks or shots.
