A sphere shows off the colour and inner pattern of a stone from every angle. A neutral finish fits easily into any room or altar. Styling: neutral tones disappear into a room, letting what's inside take the attention. At around 4cm this is the small, palm-sized option: easy to tuck into a pocket, a pouch or a bedside drawer. Small pieces suit rings and earrings, a single tumble stone, travel kits and tight altar spaces. Also in this range (10 in total): Indian Jade with Stand, Indian Moonstone with Stand, Ocean Agate with Stand. Clear Quartz is silicon dioxide, the most common crystal on Earth, typically water-clear to milky white. It measures 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz, silicon dioxide. Quartz is piezoelectric, which is why it keeps time in quartz watches. Rock crystal was carved into vessels by Fatimid Egyptian craftsmen around 1,000 years ago. Size: approximately 40mm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) In modern crystal practice a sphere is said to radiate energy evenly in all directions, which is why spheres are commonly placed at the centre of a room or altar. Clear quartz has been carved into crystal balls and lenses for centuries. Modern crystal traditions call it a 'master' stone, believed to amplify an intention or the stones placed around it. In modern crystal tradition clear quartz is linked with the crown (and all chakras in many systems) chakra and with all signs, especially Aries and Leo.
