I received the Fire and Ice Crystal Ball the next day after the turtles and it is beautiful, captivating, and entrancing. I did however come across several imperfections in the surface of the crystal ball some of which may be caused by the fact that it is a natural crystal. There is a noticeable imperfection that looks like a scratch but looking at how an inclusion under the surface of the crystal runs it may be related to the inclusion reaching the surface of the crystal in that area. There are also a few other minor scratches I noticed. My main worry was an area of the crystal ball that seemed to be loose crushed crystal and when I touched it with my fingernail it fell loose leaving a noticeable crevice in the surface of the crystal ball. I was disheartened when that happened because it was very noticeable when I would turn the crystal ball in my hands breaking up the otherwise smooth surface. I thought of returning it but seeing how I’m an animist now and believe on some level everything has a soul or unique personal energy I asked myself how I would feel if someone rejected me because of a few minor flaws and imperfections? I’m now glad that I decided to keep it as I have now cleansed the Crystal Ball with rice and running water and have charged it on my windowsill with the light of the sun and the Super Moon we’re having right now!🤩😄I have been meditating with it and gazing into it and have also charged it with the energy I receive from walking in nature and communing with plants I have a certain kinship with. Today was amazing though. I’ve learned to see into the crystal by touch alone and have gazed into the soul of the crystal ball with closed eyes and have entered the astral realm from within the crystal and have voyaged far and seen some amazing, beautiful and unique visions. I have decided to program the crystal as a seeing stone which enhances my own crystal vision. I have yet to name my Crystal for I seek to grow closer to the crystal so that it may reveal to me it’s true name or rather a phonetic equivalent of how it sees itself.
