{"title":"Crystal Balls on Stand","description":"\u003cp\u003eOptical glass spheres on their own stands, from 5cm to 20cm across, and the larger, the rarer. A crystal ball is the oldest image of divination there is, and a good one is simply a flawless sphere of clear glass that bends the room behind it upside down and throws a spot of light across the table. Ours are optical-grade glass, clear right through, each on a fitted stand, and they are bought by scryers, by photographers who use them for the inverted-image shot, and by anyone who wants one on a desk. The small sizes are a palm-sized object and an easy gift; the 13cm and above are serious pieces with real weight. Keep them out of direct sun on a windowsill, because a clear sphere focuses light.

Small does not mean lesser: the glass is the camera-lens grade used right up the range, the sphere is flawless, and at this size it does something the big ones cannot, which is sit in a palm, on a desk corner or in a pocket. It turns whatever is behind it upside down in miniature, catches a window and throws a tiny bright spot, and at five pounds it is the way most people own their first crystal ball. It is bought for stocking fillers, for desks, for children who have asked for one, and for crystal grids, where a clear sphere at the centre is the traditional focus.
