Catlinite. This pipe is prized very highly by me. It was once a clan pipe or a ceremonial pipe used in the Dream Dance Lodge and the Medicine Lodge among the pagan Menominees in the Zoar Settlement above Neopit, Wisconsin Menominee Reservation. I secured it from my old friend, Charlie Dutchman, an old medicine man." And "I also have the stem (missing) for this pipe."
