Catlinite Pipes & Beads

catlinite_bead_bolo_01Sacred Pipestone is used in our shop in more ways than just crafting pipes.   Each time I craft a pipe I am left with remnants of the pipe I build.  No stone is thrown away – we use every bit of the stone we can.  One example of repurposed stone is the Catlinite Bolo Bead that we use on our Native American Styled Flutes.  Many of our flutes will be adorned with replica feathers from many different birds and we use the Catlinite Bead as a bolo to attach the feathers to the flute body as shown in the picture here.

bead_01We also use pipestone for Cabochons, Inlays, Beads, and even mouth pieces for our flutes.  There are so many uses for Sacred Pipestone in our shop as well as yours.  For the first time we are making a limited supply of pre-configured pipestone for pipes,  flute makers and artists to purchase.  There are many ways to use this stone with little waste.
