Whether you want a crystal ball for clairvoyant reasons or you simply think it makes a beautiful addition to your home, these balls will all eventually require cleaning. In many cases, they’ll simply collect a bit of dust after sitting on a shelf or office desk. And if this is the case, you’ll merely have to wipe it down with a damp cloth. But if there are fingerprints smudging the crystal ball or some other undesirable element on the ball itself, here are some easy cleaning tips.
Basically, you’ll want to wash crystal balls in warm water with a mild detergent. Generally, crystal balls are resistant to scratches, because the material is so durable, but you’ll still want to be careful to use a non-abrasive soap and cloth. Rinse to remove all the soap then dry with a lint-free cloth. Return the ball to its stand using gloves or the cloth. One note: Never place cold crystal items in very warm water. Drastic temperature changes can damage crystal.
While people hear the phrase “crystal ball” and immediately think about mind readers and psychics, they actually have many different uses and purposes in the average household. For one, they make absolutely beautiful home décor accents. Especially when they’re exposed to the light, they take on many different and unique colors. Plus, each crystal ball itself is unique and different, because the various veins and patterns within the quartz are as unique as a fingerprint.
This uniqueness makes them the ideal piece of home décor. Whether they’re fitted on a stand or free standing, these quartz crystal balls are also beautiful in gardens. Place them among the twisting vines and blooming flowers for an eclectic and different look. If you want, they also look great next to outdoor mosaic tiles and other garden decorations.
