Known as Moqui Marbles, Moqui Balls. and/or Shaman stones; these specimens are over 220 million years old and are a stronger magnetic tool than even lodestone. Moqui balls are made of a sandstone kernel, surrounded by layers of quartz and encased in a shell of hematite. They come from iron meteorites hitting the earth, causing a rain of small particles that hit the sand. They have been found ranging in size between a marble and a baseball, and they're slightly magnetic. The photograph above provides an excellent example of the structure of Moqui Marbles although the color is not always as contrasting as shown here. In the United States, most of them come from the Navajo Sandstone Formation in the state of Utah.

Found during the excavation of ancient ruins around the world, some archeologists believe they have been used for centuries by Shamans and other mystics. There are various theories about how they were formed. Some geologists believe them to be ironstone concretions formed 130 to 155 million years ago.
Moqui Marbles are a natural form and have been used throughout many ancient cultures in spells and mojo including Indian, Aztec, Babalyon. Shaman stones were placed on many cultures altars including early pagan christians around 1-12AD. Sacred among the Shamanic members of ancient tribes, they were also used in rituals to contact extra-terrestrials, for visioning and for journeys.
According to one source, in the Hopi language, the word "moqui" means "dearly departed one." Legend says that the departed ancestors of the Hopi Indians of the Southwestern United States played games with these "marbles" in the evening when spirits are allowed to visit the earth. When the sun rises they must return to the heavens so they leave the marbles behind to let relatives know they are happy and well.
For centuries moquis are used as healing stones by American Indians from Utah and Nevada.
