Elbow pipe

[Up-North]

This one was given to me today, by a close friend.
This was in his dad’s collection, dad passed about 6yrs ago.
Likely found in s.e. Minnesota... I knew dad well, we would talk artifacts for hours.
A great gift.. I think dad, wanted me to have it.

That is really neat all around. Do you get to hunt his spots now some too?

I don’t know the exact”spot”... but feel I’m in the right area.

Nice pipestone material, usually found in SE Minnesota too. Nice for him to give to you, it has memories you will carry for a lifetime.

That's an awesome gift. Looks like the shaping was well underway but the final shape & polish wasn't done. It shows the way a lot of softer stones were worked, incised lines. No grinding wheels or dremel tools back in the day.
