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.
