Meerschaum pipe

Pipes have been made from this material since the beginning of the 18th century. Meerschaum pipes mainly originate from Turkey where the material is mined. It is actually a mineral, a rock made up of magnesium which can be found at a depth of around 30 feet. The qualities of this material in the use of pipe making is that it is lightweight and very porous, it is also very easy to work with as regards to carving. The meerschaum pipe takes on a lovely colour of a golden brown as it is smoked over the years, adding extra beauty to the pipes appearance.
