As far as I can determine, little is
actually known about the origins of Moqui Marbles.
In the United States, most of them come from the
Navajo Sandstone Formation in the state of Utah.
These mostly smooth, eliptical or round balls of
compacted sandstone are encased in a "shell" of
hematite (an ore of iron). They are also referred to
as "Moqui Balls", "Thunderballs" or "Shaman Stones"
and come in a variety of sizes ranging from that of
common marbles to that of a baseball. The photograph
above provides an excellent example of the structure
of Moqui Marbles although the color is not always as
contrasting as shown here.

The word Moqui means A dearly departed one or Pitre 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. This gives quick child birth and
blessing of ancestors.
