Andean lineage: Crafted and used by Q’ero shamanic practitioners in Peru, Chumpi stones are imbued with the energetic support of Apus (mountain spirits) and considered part of traditional healing lineage
.
Meteorite material: Though referred to as "meteorite" due to their iron-rich composition and celestial connotation, some are actually carved from local iron stone. Nevertheless, many are revered for their cosmic connection .
Energetic & Healing Functions
Chakra alignment: A set typically includes seven stones, each representing one of the seven chakras. Practitioners place them on body energy centers (Ñawis) to open, clear, and realign energy flow
.
Energy weaving: The carvings on each stone are used to weave energy belts—“chumpis”—that reinforce one’s energetic field and anchor cosmic insights into the body
.
Healing & protection: Stone placement supports emotional clearing, protection from negative influences, and energetic restoration, especially when used during ceremonial rituals

Practical Use & Ceremony
Birthing & purification: A ceremonial "birthing" process activates the stones, connecting them to a practitioner’s lineage. Stones are cleansed using sunlight, moonlight, cold, or periodic energetic clearing .
Ceremonial placement: Typically used lying down in guided sessions, stones are set along chakra points and accompanied by offerings and prayer to seek healing, alignment, and energetic balance
Energetic transmission: Once activated, stones channel cosmic and earthly energies—through intent, meditation, or Reiki-like practices—to support the user’s energetic system
Benefits & Intentions
Chakra clearing: Helps remove energetic blockages and harmonize the flow between chakras.
