Who would have thought that a white stone gifted by the Ottoman Sultan to the Hungarian Count would become a pipe material and spread all over the world. This white stone is 'lüle stone', also called Eskişehir stone, whose raw material is sepiolite clay and referred to as 'sepiolite' in the mining literature. Lüle stone is one of the most ideal stones especially for making pipes and mouthpieces due to its absorbent properties. Acting as a filter, lüle stone is the main material from which the world's most precious pipes have been made for centuries.

There are specially produced knives for processing nozzle stone. Patience and labor come first in the case of nozzle stone, which must not lose its moisture in order to be processed. Since it is a natural stone, pleasing to the eye and very aesthetic, and when combined with the skill of the craftsman, products that we can call works of art come out. This stone, also known as sea foam, Eskisehir stone, according to legends, a mole revealed the underground path of the stone and showed it to people.
