This cobble of Kansas pipestone was collected from Marion County. Striations on the side show that the soft, fine grain Kansas pipestone has been shaped into a rectangle. Parallel lines on two sides are also present. The cobble may have been initially prepped for making an unknown object, possibly a pipe, a tool, or a decorative item.
