A sphere of clear quartz works like a little lens: look through it and the world flips upside down.

This is A grade quartz, polished into a smooth ball with good clarity and the odd wisp or inclusion inside. Those inner features are part of the charm and catch rainbows in the right light. It comes in a few sizes, from a palm-sized pebble up to a proper display ball.

Spheres are lovely to hold and roll around in your hand while you think. Clear quartz is traditionally linked with clarity and with amplifying your intentions. It's a gentle, neutral stone that sits happily next to anything else you own.

How to use it

• Hold it while you think or meditate
• Place it on a stand on your desk
• Look through it for an upside-down view
• Pair it with other spheres on a shelf

Care: Keep it out of direct sun on a windowsill, because a clear ball can focus light like a magnifying glass.
