Large Faceted Pipestone Bead
Inspired by a WestCoast trade bead. This faceted pipestone bead has an amazing colour pattern. Finished with braided Buffalo leather that adjusts to your desired length.
Pipestone has always had sacred and spiritual significance to Indigenous peoples. It is the same sought after stone that Native Americans use to make their ceremonial pipes from for thousands of years. Many tribes believe that the smoke from the pipes carried ones prayer to the Great Spirit. Pipestone is also considered the blood of the earth. Today it is removed by hand and only a few select families are allowed to remove pipestone from the quarries.
We buy our pipestone directly from the source to support those family members.
