The result of the proposal was
I've reverted the wrong way merge - sorry I didn't see this previously. The mineral is sepiolite per the refs. The usage as Meerschaum for making pipes is a use of the mineral - or of similar clays to make pipes and other stuff. Meerschaum was an early name and is widely used for the pipes, but the mineral is sepiolite. The longer meerschaum article is poorly sourced and much of that longer is the pop culture trivia stuff. Either leave them separate and work to improve the meershaum article, rename it as meerschaum pipe (as suggested above) or merge the other way with the pipe usage under a uses section w/out the pop cruft.
