Amlong CrystalMeditation Divnation Sphere Feng Shui Crystal Ball, Lensball, Decorative Ball with Wooden Stand and Gift Box, Clear, 2 inch (50mm) Diameter

The perfect purchase for my first crystal ball.I was suspicious about the quality due to the absolutely UNBEATABLE price, but the set - of both the ball and stand - are, in a word, STUNNING. The sphere itself is made of reconstituted quartz crystal, which merely means that the quartz was melted down and then shaped to removed the imperfections (cloudiness, cracks, etc.) that appears in naturally-formed crystals; this is why the sphere is completely clear. My understanding is that this is to remove any distractions or focal points from the physical eye so that the user can meditate upon the ball and allow their inner eye to see the psychic reflections clearly.The accompany stand is nice, as well; it is tall because it has two pieces that rest atop one another on ball bearings, like a Lazy Susan cabinet or table. This is something I did not realize until my package came in the mail, and lo and behold, the sphere could be spun on the stand! To what purpose this serves I am not sure, but it is a cool feature and put a smile on my face. I have heard complaints about the stand, but I think it is subtly beautiful, and I might only buy another stand to change up the display every once in a while - there is nothing outright wrong with it.The size is also very appropriate, as well. I made the mistake of "go big or go home" for my first ball, and purchased the 8in diameter from Amlong, which was bigger than my head and difficult to lift. It was simply too much too soon. Trust me, 4.2 inches may not sound like a lot, but the sphere is bigger than you may expect, and its size seems equivalent to ones I've seen other Wiccans and psychics use at gatherings and festivals. You can always go bigger further into your practice - for now, this is a gorgeous crystal sphere to explore your interest in divination.

I wanted to buy a crystal ball but could not afford one until I found this one. It is gorgeous and of good quality (no lead, 100% clear, quartz crystal) while still being sold at a reasonable price. The same size was sold for $52 plus tax at my local store and it was a clear one! And clear ones are always cheaper. The stand is very nice too, it has some red felt at the base where the ball stands and if you wonder about the size, 80 mm is not too small at all! If you are like me and can't spend what a 110 mm and up cost, you will find out that 80 mm is a very good size, sufficient to work with without difficulty. The color is beautiful and relaxing, moreover purple is said to trigger intuition... The ball comes with a "gift box" and I thought it would be no more than a simple gift packaging, but in the end it is quite good and can be kept as a "case" when you are not using the crystal ball. This is really practical if you can't let it safely on display. This "box" is sturdy, it has foam that is covered with some white fabric, and the ball and its stand are placed there. I kept the "sleeve" that slide around the box to keep everything closed and secure. My order was shipped promptly even though I placed it late on Dec 22nd, it was shipped on Dec 23rd...I didn't expect that much as I ordered 2 days before Christmas. My crystal ball came well packaged and very fast too!Well, as you can tell I'm very happy with my purchase and the way it was handled, I highly recommend this seller. If I need to buy another as a gift I will buy it from this this store. They have many different ones. I think that anyone could not be anything but pleased with this crystal ball.

Beautiful

Reasonably priced product. Arrived as described. The wood stands appeared hastily/crude made with a glossy finish of some kind.Overall, a great conversation piece for agents who previously would answer client's questions with "If only I had a crystal ball..." Now they direct the clients view to the crystal ball on the conference table. It does in some instances, cut down the BS questions once referenced.

Smaller than expected but servicing the purpose. No flaws and has a stand. Put in picture to show actual size compared to other things.

This crystal ball is a beautiful color, and exactly what I was looking for!!

It was a perfect size for where I wanted to put. Came in perfect package. Nothing broke.

I have several of these crystal balls in different sizes. The quality of the ball itself is amazing and quite an attention grabber. Don't know how they can possibly make this for the price, but they do and it's a great deal. After reading some of the reviews I was expecting the wooden stand to be damaged in delivery or of extremely poor quality. Apparently the supplier has improved the quality of the stand considerably. The finish is somewhat rough on the underside, but other than that it's a very useable stand. The ball and stand came packed in a fitted Styrofoam box which was inside the Amazon shipping box. Not the best packing job I've ever seen from Amazon with only a minimal amount of air-filled packaging, but everything survived intact. I also purchased the brass Dragon Crystal Ball stand ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0053U1KII/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) for my 150mm sphere and the Wood Cobra stand ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003MI1N58/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) for this 110mm sphere in case the included wood stand was junk. The Cobra stand is very ingenious and cool looking. Will use it for my 130mm sphere.Don't be too concerned about the content of the material in these balls. Whether it's reconstituted quartz, or lead crystal, or glass or a combination of any or all of these, this ball is fine for crystal gazing, scrying etc. There's a lot of mysticism surrounding these sphere's but the fact is you can scry with pretty much any smooth surface i.e. water, glass, etc. If you're concerned about this aspect of the product just read some of the sample text available in a few of the Crystal Gazing books or other books containing info about scrying. It's not about the ball so much as it is about what YOU bring to the process. Great product. Enjoy.

This was absolutely beautiful. Perfect condition. Larger and heavier than expected. Purchased as gift for my daughter and she loved it

Tiene demasiadas burbujas e impuresas. No sirve para fotografía o para meditación ya que son muy notorios los defectos dentro de la esfera. Precio muy elevado para una calidad tan baja.

The product arrived in excellent condition, and was just what I was looking for, as well as being of a suitably large size at an economical price.

Very nice! I have purchased this before and I probably will again. makes a great gift.

Cristal clear - great price - cute little size - i recommend it
