From the pure white surface inside the bowl, that must have come from Turkey. Tanzanian meerschaum is mottled....where is the "meer" from ?
Where else is meerschaum mined?
Meerschaum is also found, though less abundantly, in Greece, as at Thebes, and in the islands of Euboea and Samos. It occurs also in serpentine at Hrubschitz near Kromau in Moravia. Additionally, meerschaum is found to a limited extent at certain localities in France and Spain, and is known in Morocco. In the United States, it occurs in serpentine in Pennsylvania (as at Nottingham, Chester County) and in South Carolina and Utah.
It looks interesting. Chamber looks a little small but I guess it smokes good. Nice ! BTW. where is the "meer" from ?
Cool Pipe. Looks like a brain.
