The Meer Possibilities…
She walked along the beach from morning till dusk looking for sepiolite. The locals called it “foam of the sea” but it was known throughout the world as meerschaum. There was something alluring about this mineral. The way it looked like foam as it floated atop the waters of the Black Sea. The smoothness to which it can be styled and the unique characteristics of each earthy fracture.
She scratched at the meerschaum with her fingernails to feel it’s true nature. It’s opaqueness was like a mirror into her own soul. She did not know why but it was important that she share a piece of her homeland with the world. A communal offering like so many peace pipes whittled from these fragile deposits. She brought them to a workshop amongst the olive groves of the Aegean. A place that would craft her cache into pipes…. Meerpipes.
Each unique in it’s own way, like a cut diamond. Crafted along it’s own natural veins and characteristics. A Meerpipe born of the Mediterranean, crafted to meet the individual tastes of the smoker. A piece that honors your bud and harkens to a simpler time and place.
