Description

This is a somewhat odd shaped piece of Sacred Catlinite that would be suitable to make  several nice pipes out of. It is 8-1/2″ at its longest point and 6″ at its tallest point. 
This is top layer stone so the thickness is going to vary a bit.  It’s nearly 2″ thick in the thickest spot and goes down to 1″ at the narrowest spot in the one corner.  The average thickness is going to be about 1-1/2″.  Because it’s top layer stone, you’re going to see a variety of color in this piece…as well as some spots.
I’ve wet down the one part of it that has been cut into, so that you can see the unusual colors that you’ll find in it.
This stone was quarried by hand at the Pipestone National Monument.
It is the premier carving stone. It’s soft enough to easily work, but it’s hard enough that it will hold great detail.
This type of stone doesn’t often come up for sale, because people who quarry are also pipemakers.  Pipemakers generally save the best pipe material to use themselves.
