M916 - Moqui Balls - Small, 3-Pc.(Utah).

3-stones in box. The "Moqui" balls, or spheres, or concretions, are an unusual stone found in a small area in Utah. The Moqui balls are a concretion with an iron-ore crust with a center of sandstone. Very unusual. These stones have been used as game balls and for healing in by metaphysical practitioners for ages.

The word Moqui means "dearly departed one" in the Hopi Indian
language. The legend that surrounds these concretions is that the ancestors of the Hopi played games with these marbles in the evening,
when the spirits are allowed to visit the Earth. As the sun rises and they go back to the heavens, they leave the marbles so their relatives know that they are happy and well.
