Description

The listing, "Moqui Marble" Sandstone Rock Specimen has ended.

Called many things: moqui marbles, "moki" marbles, moko balls, ironstone concretions, Navajo cherries, indian marbles or balls, iron balls, this unique naturally occurring stone was found by myself in Utah. Formed somewhere from 130 to 155 million years ago in the massive Navajo Sandstone beds, they have eroded and become a highly prized geological oddity. If cut, the center would contain iron stained red to yellow sandstone, and occasionally thin rings of iron. Thanks!

Looks like you didn't win, but keep an eye on my auctions, as I'll be listing more neat rocks in the near future!

is the shape natural?

Feb 27th, 2010 at 10:56:44 PM PST by

Completely all natural. Im amazed that they can form that way. I never cease to be surprised by what nature creates!

hope i can gather enough credits for this.. I bid myself empty on your snowflake obsidian, but couldn't make it :( Do you have any other nice obsidians?

Feb 27th, 2010 at 11:23:36 PM PST by

Since there seems to be a good demand for it, I'll go digging in my collection and get a few more to list. Im not sure how much snowflake obsidian I have though, might just be plain obsidian.

thanks.. If you could send me a message when you've listed it, that'll be great. I don't usually look at anything other than coins..

Feb 27th, 2010 at 11:37:23 PM PST by

Sure thing. If you could send me an email so I have your user named saved it'd make it easier for me to let you know! Thanks
