We have been interested in these marvelous moqui ball stones ever since  we first laid eyes on them. They are special to Nancy because they help relieve her depression problem.

 

     We do sale moqui balls from this web site but have a source where we purchase them for resale because it is against the law to collect moqui balls from Escalante Monument anymore and you need a special permit. Larry and I did  visit and photographed the area.

 

 

     We have done research on these wonderful vibrant stones and with our personal experience with them we are able to bring you updated and fun information.  We have links and exciting Moqui Ball articles available for you today in 2009. We are not professional geologist but we are very interested in them and their history. We are focusing on Moqui Balls. Wikipedia has a nice in-depth explanation of Navajo Sandstone

 

     Moqui balls, as you know, if you read the Wikipedia Navajo Sandstone article, formed in the lower part of the Navajo Sandstone which is found near Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. As the rain and winds come, the sand is washed and blown away and reveals the moqui balls.

 

     Moqui balls have a compressed center with a super hard outer shell of iron ore hematite. Moqui Balls, believed to have one of the highest energy vibrations.

  

     Like anything else on any subject you might read about, you will read conflicting stories. Here is one I would like to clear up.  Moqui Balls are not the same thing as Boji Stones. I bought some Authentic Boji Stone and there is a distinct difference. Please also note; Moqui Balls are not from a metior.

 

 

     These are Authentic Boji Stones, they sparkle, if you rub them together in a dark room sparks will occur. We do not sell them, you can purchase them from Avalon Crystals  you'll also learn how they came about. Boji Stones sparkle; dark grey to black in color, not smooth like Moqui Balls and did not form as Moqui Balls did.  An excellent links about Boji Stones which clears up why they sparkle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

 

     Moqui Balls are unique in the way they formed. Moqui Balls do not magnetize themselves to each other or anything else, in fact, they have pushing away energy between a male and a female stone (round – female, ufo -saucer shaped male.

 

     Moqui Balls (is what my husband and I like to call them) have been around for centuries. They have been given many names by sacred tribes and different ways to spell them;

Moqui Balls are iron concretions of ore.

 

Many Indian tribes used Moqui Balls for medicinal healing.

 

 

     What are these strange and wonderful creatures of the earth?

If you do a Google search, you will find many ideas about how moqui balls formed millions of years ago. Please read the linked articles below (they are older articles but explain in detail and are excellent) then come back here, we have additional interesting things to tell you.

 

 

 

 

Here are other very interesting links and references with very good information.

 

 

 

 

     The Shaman Indians used Moqui Balls for their Shamanic healing such as visioning journeys, meditation, and spiritual rituals to contact their dead. In addition; moqui balls were originally used for physical pain, emotional imbalance, and other healing purposes. They are also uses for energy building, and general balancing. For pain, you place the stones on the body part that is hurting you.

 

     If you hold a round (female) moqui ball in your left hand and a ufo-saucer shaped (male) moqui in your right hand and either, sit or lay down, this will clear away any negative thoughts you might be having. You will feel a calming-relaxing feeling that overcomes you.

 

     The Shaman Indian and the Hopi Indian's children played marble games with the moqui balls. The older shamans placed the moqui balls in slings and used them for hunting.

 

     Moqui balls have high protective energies because of their ability to absorb bad - negative energy and replace it with strong positive – useful balanced energy.

 

• When a round moqui ball is placed on a flat surface it will wobble around until it finally finds it’s setting spot. It will wobble sometimes sixteen seconds before finding that right resting spot.
• Moqui Balls created in pairs; male and female just like most creatures that God placed on this wonderful earth.  These stones "by the way" are alive. The round smoother stones are females, the saucer or UFO shapes are rougher feeling but still smooth like the round.  We have tested both sexes with a crystal pendulum and found that the pendulum sways side to side, the pendulum goes around in a circle when placed above the male.
• The male and female moqui's have a negative force field between them when placed within the range of about one to two inches apart; we do not feel this between two males or two females. We know these are made of compressed sandstone with a hard outer layer of iron ore but we cannot explain the negative (pushing away feeling) between male and female.
• When you rub moqui balls together, they produce a very nice soothing, calming sound.
• They are very strong and durable. You can throw them against a hard surface (concrete ground) and they will not break, at least most won’t chip. Although we have some saucer, ones chip if dropped because the rim is a thinner edge.
• Their texture is usually smooth feeling even if some have swirls and craters. They are shiny for the most part. Colors range from; dark rusty color (in some areas like Snow Canyon and other areas) to a dark black/brown.
• Moqui Balls are found laying in pairs or at least male and female near each other.
