Could someone famiiar with the topic include discussion on the current status and supply of pipestone? - FZ 22:06, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm surprised at the brief mention of what is called "pipeclay" in England. After seeing numerous different mentions of "pipeclayed belts" on redcoats uniforms and such, and just now seeing a reference in a Horatio Hornblower novel about "pipeclayed ropes", I decided to turn to the internet to find out more. All it says here is that it's a sort of white clay used to color things...yes, I had already deduced as much. I was hoping for more details...what sort of clay, how does one use it to color leather cross-belts, how often must they renew it before it wears away completely, doesn't it make a terrible mess of uniforms, turn powdery? etc. That and the name "pipeclay" given to it, suggests that (as the article says) the English use it to make pipes and such out of...why such a decided emphasis on the fact that Native Americans ALSO made pipes out of it? Both cultures used it to make pipes, the English used it as a coloring agent; an interesting note is that the pipes the Native Americans made were of religious significance. That's how I'd rank it in terms of relevance. .45Colt 22:07, 5 February 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt ( talk • contribs)
Since the article is clearly titled "Catlinite" maybe it would make more sense to have "pipeclay" be a disambiguation page with a link to a page on the European white clay pipeclay and a link to this article? It doesn't really make sense to discuss something that is really not catlinite on the catlinite page. 50.137.253.161 ( talk) 15:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Catlinite. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
