Crystal Spheres

More Info

For millions of years, crystal balls have been used by psychics, mediums, and soothsayers as a tool for fortune telling, scrying, and clairvoyance.

Their round shape helps distribute energy equally in all directions and raises positive vibrations. This makes crystal spheres ideal for fortune telling, meditation, divination, and decoration purposes.

How are gemstone spheres made?

Spheres can be made from different types of crystals. They are formed from a massive crystal that is cut into a polyhedron, then ground into a rough sphere.

Afterwards, the sphere is placed in a polishing machine where it undergoes an extensive polishing process with the use of increasingly fine abrasives.

As a final polishing step, the sphere is buffed to give it a smooth, clean, and shiny appearance.

Other popular uses of spheres

Spheres can also relieve pent up stress and tensions in the body. Others use 1- to 2-inch crystal balls as stress balls to ease their worry and anxiety. Choose a ball that comfortably fits in your hand. Have it ready at your desk or in your pocket.
