crystal ball?

Very true Wicca.
My mom uses water and along with that she'll add oil into the bowl.

Another thing you can consider is buying a smaller crystal ball. In my town they have this thing called "The Gem Show". It's pretty much a rock collecters convention and it's a great place to pick up on any kind of crystals. They even have crystal balls. All crystal balls are is something like quartz that you can use for scrying. Anyway try looking for one of those. It might be able to save you money and it's a great place for variety.

I own a black amethyst crystal ball. I don't scry to scry, but that ball in itself is excellent in pulling information, I call it.

a bowl of water will work also. there is no need to spend lots of money for the craft, use nature it is fulfilling, keeps us grounded and is available 24/7

Crystal balls do work you just have to have the right energy.

Hello, I'm new. I just wanted to say that most crystal balls I have seen would be almost one thousand dollars for a good sized one. The tiny ones that are a bit larger than a large marble I have seen $150 to $200 dollars. I am afraid to buy one on ebay because it might just be a glass marble.
