The stuff is pretty popular. You see them in pipe shops all carved up. Most are made in Turkey which is where most of the mineral comes from.

Most of that area around lake Michigan was under water during the last ice Age. Those lakes were once one huge lake called lake Agassiz and as they melted they formed the present Great Lakes plus many others in Canada and the U.S.

If you do some research you can find the beaches formed as the lake retreated. Locate them and you might find some interesting rocks.
