{"product_id":"quartz-sphere","title":"Quartz Sphere 60 mm — Polished Clear Quartz Crystal Ball","description":"\u003cp\u003eSixty millimetres of Brazilian quartz, ground and polished round. What makes a quartz sphere worth looking at is never perfect clarity — flawless glass would be boring — but the internal architecture: veils, healed fractures and fine inclusions that the curved surface magnifies and multiplies as you rotate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 342 grams it has real heft for its size, the density that tells you at a touch it is stone rather than resin or glass. Clear quartz from Brazil, the classic source, in the size that sits comfortably in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolished clear quartz sphere\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60 mm diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e342 g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Brazil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShips within 3 business days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuartz 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;font-size:1.35em;margin:1.6em 0 .5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:1.2em 0;font-size:.96em;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:.6em .7em;background:#f2efe9;color:#2c3a37;border-bottom:2px solid #c9a96e;\"\u003eThis piece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eStone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eClear quartz, polished sphere\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e60 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003e342 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eBrazil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eCharacter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:.6em .7em;border-bottom:1px solid #e3ded4;vertical-align:top;\"\u003eNatural internal veils and inclusions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,#000D0B,#40514E);color:#e8e4dc;padding:1.4em 1.5em;border-radius:10px;margin:1.8em 0;line-height:1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#c9a96e;margin:0 0 .5em;font-size:1.1em;\"\u003e✨ Temple Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;\"\u003eTreat it as a lens, not an ornament — including the part where lenses start fires.
