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 5cm 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 (9 in total): Afghan Lapis with Stand, Amethyst Aura with Stand, Clear Quartz with Stand. Tourmaline is a complex borosilicate mineral, typically black, green or multi-coloured. It measures 7–7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural mineral. It forms in more colours than almost any other gem. Tourmaline is one of October's traditional birthstones. Size: approximately 50mm. 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 regularly placed at the centre of a room or altar. Tourmaline's Sinhalese name, turmali, means 'stone of mixed colours'. In modern practice it is associated with protection and balance. In modern crystal tradition tourmaline is linked with the root and heart chakra and with Libra and Capricorn. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims. ## How to use - Keep spheres out of strong sunlight: a clear sphere can focus light like a lens. - Display it on its stand away from the edge of a shelf. - It pairs traditionally with rose quartz or clear quartz. - Placement idea: a windowsill that catches the morning light (but not harsh midday sun) shows off colour and inclusions beautifully. - Desk idea: keep it beside your keyboard as a cue to pause, breathe and look away from the screen for a moment. - Bedside idea: some people hold a stone for a minute before sleep and set one small intention for the next day. ## Care - Wipe with a gentle, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away; keep away from soaps, salt and long soaks. - Handle with dry hands and set it down on a fine base. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
