Smelting Quartz Sphere

This amazing Smelting Quartz Sphere is full of "clouds" and rainbow. Smelted quartz is made from melting quartz in the presence of another compound (called a flux) which lowers the melting temperature. In smelted quartz, when adding raw materials such as manganese (Mn) the result will be violet crystal, adding cobalt (Co) will be blue crystal, add chromium (Cr) for green crystal, adding selenium (Se) for the red crystal, add the liquid gold for the gold ruby color crystal, adding cerium (Ce) yellow crystal, add neodymium (Nd) for light purple crystals. Quartz is in such abundance in China and labor is so cheap that they can afford to melt down the crystal, remove all the impurities and add color as they see fit. These items are beautiful and unique, despite not having the properties of natural quartz. This smelted quartz has properties similar to glass which has energy like everything else in the Universe. Glass brings together the traditional four elements; through fire and air the silica earth element is made molten and transformed into a liquid to then return to its earth state as a solid when cool.

This sphere is approximately 2.5" in diameter and weighs 301 grams.
