Advice on Crystal Ball Selection
As with all aspects of scrying, one word more than any other sums up the process of choosing a crystal ball:
Intuition
The right crystal ball should call out to you, you should simply "know" it is attuned to your psyche.
In an ideal world we would be able to view and handle a selection of crystal balls, feeling their vibrations before making our choice. Unfortunately few of us are lucky enough to have a well-stocked psychic shop in our neighbourhood. Therefore buying a crystal ball over the Internet becomes the route most of us take.
Whilst nothing can substitute for actually holding a potential scrying ball, there are some things that can help guide your buying choice:
Size of Crystal
As a rule of thumb, the larger your crystal ball then the easier your scrying will be. Bigger is not necessarily better - if a small crystal calls to you then go with it. However if you are unsure then a larger ball is probably better, although it will cost more.
How Clear a Crystal?
How clear should your crystal ball be? This is a question on which psychics disagree. Most natural crystal usually contains imperfections and bubbles. A perfectly clear crystal is considered by some to be "sterile" and lifeless. Others prefer a completely clear crystal because it allows them to see more easily without the "imperfections" to distract them. Again, let your intuition guide you.
The Retailer or Manufacturer
Have a look around the site from which you are thinking of buying a crystal ball. What does it say to you? Is this a site that fits in with your world view? Are they likely to be in tune with your energies? The exact same crystal ball purchased from two different sites could have different results - because you will always know where you bought it. A crystal ball - like any psychic tool - should be treated as something special, right from the first moment you buy it.
