meerschaum
White pipe stone
Meerschaum is a soft white mineral used to make tobacco pipes.
The material absorbs tar and nicotine, gradually turning from white to amber with use.
A meerschaum is a pipe made from this mineral, often elaborately carved: His grandfather's meerschaum had a bowl shaped like a turbaned head.
The German word means "sea foam."
