Raw Stone
Pipestone is a clay formation stone found between layers of quartzite. Our stone is hand quarried by Native American Indians at the Pipestone National Monument.
The black stone we sell is quarried in Kenora Canada. The Red Pipestone is quarried in Pipestone Minnesota by tribal people. Both stones are great for all your carving needs. Please do not assume all Pipestone is the exact same size and thickness these are natural pieces of stone.
Pictures represent the variety of shapes by weight for 2, 3, 4, and 5 pound pieces of raw pipestone. Each piece pictured represents 1 piece of stone of that weight.
