Why this 15 centimetre crystal ball stands out
This crystal ball is a good choice for you if you would like a beautifully clear, hand-sized piece in your home. The sphere is made from K9 grade lead glass, which gives it high optical clarity so light passes through it cleanly. The 15 centimetre diameter is large enough to be a statement piece on a windowsill or shelf, while the 5,35 kg weight is still easy to handle.
Characteristics of K9 lead glass
K9 is an industrial grade marking that refers to glass with a high lead oxide content. As a result, this sphere refracts light more strongly than ordinary glass and can show a soft rainbow play in sunlight. The material is hard and scratch-resistant, so it stays clear year after year. You receive a transparent, bubble-free sphere with a precisely shaped form.
Where to place it in your home
The 15 centimetre size looks best on a living-room shelf, a windowsill or a meditation table. When direct sunlight reaches it, the sphere can project small bright spots on the wall, adding a special atmosphere to the room. The included glass stand keeps the sphere from rolling and highlights its shape. Take care not to leave it in strong direct sunlight for long periods, as the focused light can ignite paper or fabric nearby.
Cleaning and care
Wipe the sphere with a soft, lint-free cloth when it gathers dust. If fingerprints appear, wash it with lukewarm water and a few drops of mild dish soap, then dry it thoroughly. Avoid abrasive sponges as they can leave fine marks even on hard glass. Care for the stand in the same way. With these simple steps the sphere keeps its clear, sparkling look for years.
What to keep in mind when buying
As this is a natural optical glass product, a few millimetres of variation in size can occur. The stated 15 centimetre diameter and 5,35 kg weight are indicative. The sphere is made in China, where decades of experience back the crystal glass industry. If you intend it as a gift, wrap it in soft fabric for transport because the glass can crack if dropped. It is designed for indoor use; do not leave it outdoors for extended periods.
