Description

Catlinite, also called pipestone, is a type of argillite (metamorphosed mudstone), usually brownish-red in color.

Because it is fine-grained and easily worked, it is prized by Indigenous communities, primarily those of the Plains nations and continues to be used for carvings and sculptures by artists and indigenous peoples.

Pipestone blocks are sold in approximately 1 pound increments, with no 2 alike.

Price is for 2 pounds.
