You never know when you will run into something interesting. Pipestone is a clay layer that was trapped between quartzite that has a unique red color. The American Indians used this stone material to make pipes, especially peace pipes. Various Indian tribes quarried the pipestone material and there was quite a trade program for many tribes. At the center, there was a craftsman making pipe from the pipestone material with versions of the hands tools the Indians use in the past.. |
