Geology/History
Moqui's started to form as our Earth was being created, these stones are a type of concretion stone that are found in the Navajo Sandstone formation of Colorado & Utah USA. They consist of sandstone cemented together by Hematite (Fe2O3) & Goethite (FeOOH). The Iron forming these concretions came from the weathering breakdown of iron-bearing silicate minerals & form Iron oxide coatings on grains of sand. Basically an oxidized Iron ore, evidence suggests that microbial metabolism may have contributed to the formation of some of these concretions.
These concretions are regarded as terrestrial analogues of the hematite spherules, called alternately Martian "blueberries" or Martian spherules. Moquis come in three different varieties male, female & androgynous. Male Moqui stones can generally be identified by sharp, uneven & protruding patterns on their surface. Female Moqui stones are a more common variety, they are generally smooth all over.
Androgynous Moqui stones display some irregularity on their surfaces & are quite smooth compared to the male Moqui stones. The name Moqui is what the Spaniards called the Hopi Indians of northern Arizona whom have used the stones in healing for centuries. The term Boji is a trademark name referring to a specially charged/awakened Moqui Marble found at the base of a naturally formed pyramid mountain in the state of Kansas USA.
On rare occasions they form concentric circles of Pyrite on the outer crust, This particular variety forms only in China.
Concretions from all locations are referred to as Shaman stones.
