Crystal Spheres & Eggs

How can I tell if my crystal sphere is authentic versus glass?

Authentic crystal spheres, particularly those made from natural quartz, will typically have inclusions, mists, or internal features. When held over text, genuine crystal will create mild to moderate distortion, while glass tends to produce a clear magnification effect. Natural crystal spheres are rarely 100% clear, unlike glass which appears completely transparent.

What are the different uses for crystal spheres and eggs?

Crystal spheres emit balanced energy in all directions, making them excellent tools for meditation and advanced crystal work. Crystal eggs specifically promote stability and can enhance healing energies. Both shapes can be used as striking display pieces in your home, with eggs being particularly associated with fertility and balance.

How are crystal spheres made?

Crystal spheres are crafted from massive crystals that are first cut into a polyhedron shape. The stone is then carefully ground into a sphere through a process of constant rotation in a container filled with abrasive materials like emery and garnet powder. For high-quality spheres, this shaping process can take years to complete.
