Description: Moqui Marbles (Mo-key). These strange
ironstone concretions are found at the base of the Navajo Sandstone
formation, and come in sizes from small marbles to baseballs. Moqui Indians
that inhabited the Utah area used the small balls for marble-like games and
in slings for hunting. The centers are filled with hard packed sandstone and
the outer surface is a composite of iron, phosphorous and lime. How they are
formed and what caused their unusual rounded shapes remain a puzzle. Some
scientists believe them to be from 130 to 155 million years old. 22 pieces.
