For a quick trip home, it needs to be wrapped in newspaper, inserted into
a
large bag, and then the LFS employee/owner should pour enough tank water
all
over the paper to soak it.

As soon as you get home, unwrap it and put it in your tank.

If it just a small piece of rock and nothing else you really care for or
concern with, then simply put it in. Your main tank should be able to handle
a small imbalance.

Other then Marc method...

Alternative... [caution method]

I would bring a bucket to your LFS and use their water to hold your rock.
Bring back home and check the parameter of the water and see if ok. Your
reading should be within the same range of your tank water.

Anything that you going to put into your tank should be inspect it carefully
before adding. Better safe then sorry later.
