This is MOQUI MARBLE specimen. Shown next to a US quarter coin for size comparison. Moqui Marbles are concretion formations that contain a mixture of Iron oxide and Sandstone. Moqui Marbles are known as a very powerful shamanic stone, and are sometimes called "a shaman's stone". (But these are not to be confused with Shaman's Window Quartz.) It has a deep brown background coloring with a subtle metallic luster and areas of reddish orange oxidation. It has an interesting variety of physical textures, but also feels quite smooth overall.
ALL inclusions present are 100% natural formations in the stone. I pick all of my stones by energy FIRST. Check out how it works with subtle energies below.

"Moqui" is a Hopi word that means "dear departed ones." According to Hopi tradition, spirits of the dead would play with the marbles at night, leaving them behind in the morning to reassure the living that they were happy in the afterlife.
They are named after the Moqui Tribe.
These stones have long been used as a shamanic focus for healing work and for shamanic journeys; they are thought to connect one to inner knowledge from ancient times and past lives. They are used to connect more deeply with your animal spirits, totems and guides.
