THE CRYSTAL IS CLEAR AND FROM THE ART DECO ERA CRAFTED IN JAPAN FROM THE CRYSTALS THAT FLOWED DOWN MOUNT FUJI WHICH IS A VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN WITH SNOW ON TOP. THE CRYSTALS WERE CREATED WHEN THE LAVA FLOW THEN PASSED THROUGH THE SNOW AND FLOWED DOWN THROUGH THE STREAM BEDS WHERE THEY WERE COLLECTED AND THE JAPANESE ARTISANS TUMBLED THEM INTO PERFECT SPHERES AND ADDED WIRES OR FLOWER BANDS TO CREATE JEWELRY FOR THE CHINESE ARISTOCRATS AND FOR TRADE. THESE CRYSTALS DRIED UP IN THE 1920'S AND THEY ARE HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE. THE CRYSTAL BALL IS WRAPPED IN A FLORAL REPOUSSE BAND THAT IS USUALLY MADE OF A LESSOR SILVER. THE CRYSTAL IS CLEAR OF CHIPS OR CRACKS AND IS NOT DRILLED OR PIERCED AND OBJECTS VIEWED THROUGH THE ORB ARE UPSIDE DOWN AND REVERSED.
