It is softer than Minnesota pipe stone, a real pleasure to work with. This stone measures about 4-1 /4 inches long , 3" high, by about 1 inch wide . The pipe does not go with the sale. It's an example of how the stone will finish when polished. There will be very little waste in this piece. The stone was sprayed with water so you can get a better idea of how it will finish.
