Item labeled as "Peep Stone", included as part of a collection of a pioneer Utah Mormon family, displayed at the Daughters of Utah Pioneers museum in Salt Lake City. No other reference was noted.
Though not a stone, this item demonstrates an active involvement in the occult by the 4th Mormon Prophet. These three pictures are different views of the same item. It is displayed as part of the personal effects of Wilford Woodruff, at the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum in Salt Lake City. It appears to be a sort of matrix used by one involved with numerology. Certain of the carefully laid out squares are filled with a variety of characters. The two paper notes next to the matrix include the words "Wilford Woodruff", and "Mnemonical Table". The cursive writing on the lower right of the tablet that the matrix is pasted on says "This drawing was found in Wilford Woodruff's wallet and had been there for many years".
