Unfortunately, this was not found by me. It was posted on another forum I belong to, but was such a fantastic find, I thought you might like to see it.

Outstanding!

Why is it so rough and so crude? Pipes were prized possessions and are almost always very well made and highly polished.

That's a pretty rough looking pipe for soapstone. Whats the history on it. It looks like it took a acid bath.

Hmmmmm

Nope. Those holes don't look drilled - it all looks very crude. Nothing about it looks correct.

Here's the story I got. This piece was found at a detecting club hunt. On the top of a mountain. While digging a signal, this was in the hole that was dug. The person that found it thought it had a strange shape, so she hung onto it. It was posted on the other forum to see if anyone could ID it. I wasn't there, so I can't verify the story, and don't know enough about Native American artifacts to comment on it myself. Posted it here because if it is authentic, I thought you would appreciate it. Thanks for the looks.

It has all the ear markings of a MiqMaq Eagle pipe to me, there were probably other minerals with in the pipe that have long ago rotted away leaving it with a very rough look, if it was found on top of a hill it could very well have been "Offered to Mother Earth" during a vision quest type of visit, VERY COOL, and I would say with a 95% certainty that it is indeed a man made pipe. AWESOMENESS!!!!

it almost looks like fossilized coral.....odd pipe material what ever it is.

I think you mean Mi'kmaq or MicMac and I believe you are incorrect. I have seen hundreds of Pipes and never have a I saw one that rough or crude. My guess is someones art project or a Pot Pipe. Not ancient and not an artifact. By the way, I agree that it is man made, just not by ancient man. Probably in the last 50 years.
