The Spiritual Significance
Scrying is the practice of gazing into a surface, such as water, a mirror, or a crystal ball, until images or impressions come up. Clear and black balls are the classic choices; colored balls are a more personal one, and some practitioners pick a color to suit the question the way they'd choose a candle color.
In modern color magic, purple is linked with psychic work, intuition, and spiritual insight, which makes a purple ball a natural fit for divination sessions and for a psychic development altar.
Step by step
How To Use This Purple Alexandrite Gazing Ball
- Set the ball on a stand or a folded dark cloth at eye level, with one candle off to the side.
- Bring a question to mind, or simply an open mind, and let your eyes soften into the purple.
- Notice any mist, color, shapes, or images without chasing them. Ten to fifteen minutes is plenty at first.
- Write down what came up before you look away.
Trust what you notice, even when it's faint.
Good company

Before you buy
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this real alexandrite?
No. "Alexandrite" is the name of the color, a purple tint in the glass. Natural alexandrite is a rare gemstone that would never come as a 3 inch sphere at this price. This is a glass gazing ball, the same material most crystal balls are made from.
Does it come with a stand?
No, the ball ships on its own. A ring stand sized for 80mm (3 inch) balls holds it well, or you can rest it on a folded cloth. Our flower and Bastet stands are made for smaller 50mm balls, so they're too small for this one.
Why choose a purple gazing ball?
Choose purple if you'd like a color tied to psychic work and intuition in modern color magic, or simply if the color draws you. A clear ball gives depth, a black ball gives darkness, and a purple ball sits softly between them, which some scryers find easy to settle into.
Can beginners scry with it?
Yes. A 3 inch ball is a comfortable size to learn on. Keep sessions short and regular, use low light with a candle off to the side, and don't expect full scenes right away. Early sessions often bring mist, color, or a feeling, and that's a normal start.
How do I care for it?
Wipe the ball with a soft, dry cloth, and cleanse it with smoke or moonlight if that's part of your practice. Glass can chip if it's dropped, so store it on a stand or wrapped in cloth, and keep it away from sunny windows, since glass spheres can focus light.
