A medium size with a rich light effect
This 3 centimetre diameter, clearly cut crystal sphere is for many the middle path among feng-shui pieces. It is larger and more striking than the 2 centimetre version, but not yet as large as pieces above 5 centimetres. The surface is divided into many small cut facets, so the sunlight breaks into several smaller bands. The 40 gram mass holds it steadily in the window, yet remains light enough for most hooks to bear its weight.
How it fits into the tradition
The feng-shui tradition is an old field of Chinese thought that examines the relationship between the home and the well-being of those who live in it. According to the tradition, a hanging crystal sphere gently distributes the incoming energy and also makes light visible. You will find pleasure in it even if you do not know the details of the tradition and are simply looking for a kind hanging piece that makes the window more lively.
Where and how to place it
The 3 centimetre size fits well to a medium living-room, study or dining-room window. Use a transparent nylon string to hang it in a south- or east-facing window where direct sunlight falls on the piece. In the morning hours, east windows give the most striking effect; in the afternoon hours, south and west windows do so. The suspension should be firm enough so that the crystal does not knock against the glass.
Cleaning and careful handling
The many small cut surfaces collect dust over time. Weekly dusting with a soft cotton cloth is recommended. If it has become greasier, you can wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and then dry it with another. Do not use chemicals. The suspension eye is the most sensitive part, so handle it carefully when taking it down. If you do not plan to use it for a longer period, store it in soft fabric in a dry place where it cannot be knocked.
Package contents and origin
The package contains one 3 centimetre feng-shui crystal sphere of AAA quality cut glass crystal, protected in cardboard. The total weight is 40 grams and the country of origin is China. The base material is not a natural mineral but high-quality cut glass crystal; we would like to state this clearly to you. The medium size is a good middle path for those who are not looking for the smallest or the largest piece, and who want a clearly visible yet calm light effect in their home.
