![Sepiolite (Dimensions: 3" x 2.5" x 2.5") Locality: Eskişehir Province, Central Anatolia Region, Turkey Old specimen (with five [!] old labels) of Meerschaum ("sea foam"), in essence Sepiolite from Turkey used for carving smoking pipes and other gee-gaws. Forms as nodules in red clay, then cleaned and dried and carved. Turkey banned export of the nodules in the 1970s to encourage the growth of home-grown meerschaum pipe carving, but only managed to kill off the European meerschaum pipe carving industry. More of this fascinating story on Wikipedia. Details on the five labels for this specimen: old, hand-written [unintelligible owner name], J. Kenneth Fisher [Upper Darby, PA], John S. Albanese [Union, NJ], J. Cilen, and a modern label.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Sepiolite-469730.jpg)
