Most crystal spheres are cut from a single mineral, but this one holds a large calcite formation surrounded by crystal quartz cluster.
Shaped and polished by artisans in Brazil, it shows two different minerals and textures in one rounded piece, so there is always something new to notice as you turn it. At about 3.75 inches, it suits a desk, a bookshelf or a collector's display case. It is a thoughtful gift for a mineral lover or someone who appreciates the unusual. This is the exact sphere shown.
The sphere is about 3.75 inches in diameter. Turn it under a lamp to see the quartz and calcite catch the light differently.
About Quartz and Calcite
Quartz is silicon dioxide, hard and glassy. Calcite is calcium carbonate, much softer at 3 on the Mohs scale, . The two often grow together, and the difference in their textures is easy to see on a polished surface.
Stone Meaning: Clear quartz is traditionally associated with clarity, and calcite with calm.
Add a Sphere Stand
A stand keeps a sphere from rolling and lifts it into view, so it looks finished on a shelf, desk or altar. Pick one from our crystal sphere stands and holders, with carved wood, brass, metal and clear acrylic styles. Check the stand size against the sphere diameter for a secure fit.
