Chumpi Stones & Andean Ritual Pieces

Chumpi stones (khuyas) carved by hand in Cusco, in alabaster and jiwaya (meteorite) stone: sets of 7 and 12, plus khuyas for the Andean mesa.

What chumpi stones are

Chumpi stones are the khuyas used in the Andean tradition of Cusco to work with the ñawis and chumpis, the energy centres and bands described in Quechua. Each stone in a set is recognised by its shape or carving.

Frequently asked questions

Alabaster or jiwaya stone?

Alabaster is light-coloured and finely carved; jiwaya, known as meteorite, is dark, heavy and very durable.

Why does my set look different from the photo?

Every set is carved by hand from natural stone, so colour, veins and size change from one set to another.
