Crystal balls

More about this category

The shop's crystal balls are made of optical glass, not rock crystal. Rock crystal is natural quartz, a hard, cold, heavy stone whose large, clear spheres are rare and expensive. Optical glass is a manufactured glass, very pure, softer (it scratches more easily) and more affordable. We state this on each product page.

  • Choose the size according to use: 50 mm to carry with you, 80 mm for a good compromise, 100 mm for an imposing piece.
  • Never leave it in direct sunlight: a transparent ball can concentrate the light and cause a fire.
  • Wipe it with a soft, clean cloth, without abrasive products.
  • Place it on its stand, on a stable surface.

The difference between glass and stone is explained in our stones guide.

Which size

  • 50 mm: compact, easy to carry.
  • 80 mm: a good balance between looks and price.
  • 100 mm: a decorative, imposing piece.
