The humble Crystal Ball is often associated with the enchanting ability of fortune-telling. The image of a gypsy foreseeing your future by gazing into the ball is just one representation of this mystical object.
It is referenced in the book of revelations and in the tale of King Arthur, who sought Merlin the Magician's prophecies through his crystal ball...
During the middle ages, Scryers (fortune tellers) cherished their crystal balls, commonly bequeathing them to their successors. These balls were tools for connecting and communicating with the divine. Interestingly, crystals have always been utilized in communication devices, like today's radios, phones, and computers.
The significance of crystal balls as important tools could be attributed to their inherent attributes of transparency and symmetry. Moreover, the energy fields of crystals and gemstones are believed to subtly and esoterically influence what the scryer observes.
Caution!
Due to the optical nature of crystal balls, they may pose a slight fire hazard if exposed to direct sunlight.
