Moqui Balls - Moqui Marbles - Moqui Indians - iron concretions
54 piece flat of Moqui Balls. These are iron concretions with
sandstone centers. From Utah.
These odd concretions have been called Moqui Marbles, Moqui Balls,
and are made up of a mixture of limonite, goethite, and
hematite. See: http://www.rocksandminerals.com/specimens/moqui.htm These stones are named after the Moqui Indians that for centuries
populated the area now known as Utah, where these stones are
found. Due to restrictions now imposed on the indian reservations
and on BLM lands, the source for these unusual stones is about dried
up and are getting more scarce.
