catlinite. A clay stone of pale grayish-red to dark red, catlinite honors American painter and writer George Catlin (1796– 1872). Catlin, a self-taught artist, is remembered for his primi- tive but authentic paintings of Indian life. An impresario, too, he displayed troupes of Indians in the East and Europe long be- fore Buffalo Bill or Barnum. Early used by American Indians for making pipes, catlinite is commonly called pipe rock. |
