This string of catlinite (also called pipestone) is a type of argillite found in a matrix of Sioux Quartzite. Because it is fine-grained and easily worked, it is prized by Native Americans, primarily those of the Plains nations for use in making ceremonial pipes such as chanunpas.
Each bead is 1/2" x 1". The string is 20" long.
