This little set-up of Moqui Marbles is quite an intriguing sight! Composed of Iron Oxide and Sandstone from Utah’s Navajo Sandstone and originally discovered by the Moqui Indians, these ball shaped concretions were also referred to as “thunder stones” or “shaman stones”. They are also related to the yab-yom practice where different marble forms are thought to be distinctly male (lingam) or female (yoni) forms. #moquimarbles #moqui #moquiindians #hopi #hopiindians #navajosandstone #ironoxide #sandstone #concretion #thunderstones #shamanstones #utah #yabyom #lingam #yoni #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7pD_kQnHVW/?igshid=1gzvoh4cc0r87
