Quartz Crystal Balls
Crystal balls have intrigued and fascinated man since the dawn of time. They've always been associated with magic, mysticism and divination. Divination is the art of reading the future by supernatural means.
The Celtic druids are believed to have been the first people to have used a crystal ball for the purpose of scrying. Also known as crystal gazing, scrying is the practice of looking intently into a reflective surface to see images relating to the future.
Although the crystal ball became the tool of choice for divination, at one time any reflective surface was used. The druid civilization disappeared about 1,200 years ago.
Crystal balls described as 'water clear' can be expensive. They're cut from transparent quartz crystal meaning they're free impurities and inclusions. For this reason alternative materials are often used instead. These are most commonly glass or crystal which despite its name is neither quartz or a even a natural mineral.
The crystal balls in our photos are standing on hematite rings. These make ideal stands for most polished spheres but are slightly too large for these crystal balls. They're not included in the price of the sphere.
Three of our crystal balls (one in each size) are empathic warriors so are being sold at a reduced price. More information about empathic warrior crystals can be found in the following article.
