What it is
Gemstone Sphere 40mm - Amethyst Aura with Stand is a polished aura quartz sphere of about 40mm supplied with a stand. 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.
The Gemstone Sphere 40mm range comes in 10 versions. If Amethyst Aura with Stand isn't quite right, compare Clear Quartz with Stand or Indian Jade with Stand or Indian Moonstone with Stand.
Materials and size
Aura Quartz is quartz coated with a thin bonded layer of metal such as titanium, typically iridescent, rainbow sheen. It measures 7 (the coating is softer) on the Mohs hardness scale. Natural quartz with a man-made metallic coating.
The coating is applied by vapour deposition, fusing a thin layer of metal to heated quartz.
Size: approximately 40mm. Natural material varies slightly in size, colour and markings.
Traditional uses
Spheres have a long history in scrying, the practice of gazing into a reflective spot for insight; clear crystal balls were used for this in medieval and Victorian Europe. Aura quartz is a modern creation. Its shimmering finish is associated in contemporary practice with joy and creativity, and it is chosen mainly for its striking colour. In modern crystal tradition aura quartz is linked with the crown in modern practice chakra and with all signs. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims.
How to use it
- 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 clear quartz.
- Journalling idea: note the date you bought it and what drew you to it; collectors enjoy looking back on how a collection grew.
- Shelf idea: group stones by colour, from deep to pale, for a display that reads like a gradient.
- Meditation idea: rest it in an open palm and use its weight and temperature as a point of focus for five slow breaths.
Care
- Dust with care with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasives and long soaks, which can wear the coated base.
- Handle with dry hands and set it down on a smooth surface.
Who it suits
Best for someone who loves vivid, iridescent colour.
