A small sphere with many small plays of light
This 2 centimetre diameter, clearly cut crystal sphere belongs to the smaller feng-shui pieces. Its surface is divided into many small cut facets, so the incoming sunlight does not converge into a single point but breaks into several smaller bands. Small rainbow spots appear on the wall, on the curtain and on the floor, and as the sphere slowly turns they keep wandering. The 15 gram mass makes hanging easy, and even a smaller window handle can hold its weight.
What it means in the feng-shui tradition
Feng-shui is a Chinese way of thinking, several centuries old, that examines the relationship between the home environment and the well-being of those who live in it. According to the tradition, a hanging crystal sphere gently distributes the incoming energy across the space and also makes light visible. Whether you know this tradition or are simply looking for a beautiful hanging piece, the small sphere has become a kind companion for many families over the years.
How you can use it in practice
The 2 centimetre size fits particularly well to a smaller window, a kitchen or corridor window where there is not much room for the larger drop- or leaf-shaped pieces. Many users hang several pieces side by side, so that the light effect is richer. If you plan to place it in a child's room, choose a height where the child cannot reach it, as the crystal can break when dropped.
Cleaning and storage
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 sensitive part of the piece, so handle it carefully when taking it down. If you do not plan to use it for a longer period, take it down from the window and store it in soft fabric in a dry place.
Package contents and origin
The package contains one 2 centimetre feng-shui crystal sphere of AAA quality cut glass crystal, protected in cardboard. The total weight is 15 grams and the country of origin is China. The base material is not a natural mineral but high-quality cut glass crystal; we feel important to mention this so that you have an accurate picture. Many small Chinese workshops have been making hanging pieces inspired by the feng-shui tradition for years.
