How to use it
Quartz spheres invert whatever is behind them, which is the trick worth knowing: set it in front of a window or a patterned surface and the image appears upside down inside the ball. On a stand at eye level, that turns the sphere into something that changes with the room instead of sitting still in it.
Do not leave it in direct sunlight on a wooden surface or near fabric. A polished sphere focuses light exactly like a lens, and a clear quartz ball in a sunny window is a genuine scorch risk. Display it away from direct sun, or on a stand where the focal point falls in open air.

✨ Temple Tip
Treat it as a lens, not an ornament — including the part where lenses start fires. Never leave a polished quartz sphere sitting in direct sunlight near anything that can burn. It is the most-overlooked piece of crystal care there is, and the most consequential.
Questions we get asked
Is it completely clear?
Clear quartz of this size almost never is, and this piece is described simply as quartz. Expect natural veils and internal features — they are what give a sphere depth when you turn it.
Is a stand included?
No. The sphere is supplied on its own; a ring stand or small dish is worth adding so it does not roll.
Is it glass?
No — it is natural Brazilian quartz. The weight is one giveaway: 342 grams at 60 mm is denser than a glass ball of the same size would feel.
Is the sunlight warning serious?
Yes. A polished sphere focuses sunlight to a point, and 60 mm is more than enough to scorch wood, paper or fabric. Keep it out of direct sun.
How do I clean it?
A soft dry cloth, or a barely damp one followed by immediate drying. Quartz is hard and durable, so the only real risk is dulling the polish with detergents.
A lens that shows you the room upside down, and weighs like the mountain it came from.
