The object is a Meerschaum pipe, crafted from the mineral sepiolite, also known as meerschaum, meaning "sea foam" in German. Here's some helpful information. Material: Made from a soft, porous mineral, primarily found in Turkey.

Flavor: Known for providing a pure flavor, as the material doesn't burn like briar or cob. Absorption: Acts as a natural filter, absorbing tobacco tars and nicotine. Color Change: Gradually changes color over time with use, from white to yellow, orange, red, and eventually golden brown. Maintenance: The chamber should be wiped clean after each use, unlike briar pipes where a cake is typically developed. Cost: Meerschaum pipes can be more expensive than wooden pipes, with intricate designs fetching higher prices.

Fragility: Higher grades of meerschaum are less prone to cracking. Origin: The art of crafting meerschaum pipes is a traditional part of Turkish culture.
