Archaeologists have discovered 42 obsidian ritual stones from an ancient Mayan city in Guatemala, some of which were found in the graves of child sacrifices.

The precious rocks were thought to hold special spiritual or supernatural significance for the Preclassical Mayan people. The obsidian stones were discovered in Ceibal, Guatemala, with details reported in a study in the Journal of Field Archaeology.
