Rock's Fur Coat (Proceeds to benefit mindat.org)
Peru

It's no secret that Rock was a big man. He towered over everyone he met, a giant in the community in every sense of the word. He was "a walking refrigerator with feet." While he left behind some big shoes to fill, his coat is also no small matter. Rock got this massive Alpaca fur coat designed and made for him by Jorge Fitzgerald to keep him from freezing his ass off on some Peruvian mountain. He wore it everywhere around the world-so the big man loomed even larger. Us smaller humans quickly become lost in the fur. It is quite large, quite warm, and a great remembrance of this giant of a man.

Proceeds from this sale will go to mindat.org, Rock's favorite organization.
