Shaman Stones
These unusual and powerful rocks, called Shaman Stones, are found at the
base of the Navajo Sandstone in Utah. Since this land was once
inhabited by the Moqui Indian tribe, they are also called moqui marbles.
There is little known regarding their origin. However, they are
believed to be concretions, possibly formed by volcanic action in an
ancient sea, 130 to 155 million years ago. The shell is mainly composed
of iron and the centre is filled with very fine coral coloured sandstone
which is much finer than the surrounding Navajo desert.
It is
believed that these Shaman Stones were used by various tribes and were
regarded as powerful and sacred. Most stones have a balanced male/female
energy which is both energizing and grounding. The rough and ellipsoid
shaped stones have a greater masculine tendency. As in the days of the
shamans, the stones can be used to absorb negative energies while
eventually transforming this into positive and beneficial energies. This
makes these stones useful in healing environments and for their
essential purification qualities. They have a subtle magnetization
effect of the energy field and will gently clear and charge any area
they are placed in. They are particularly effective when one is placed
in each hand during journeying or meditation.
