I was a bit disappointed at the size as I thought this bigger BUT it doesn't change the fact that it is absolutely beautiful! The shipping was fast and the packaging was awesome! Definitely a great buy!Maybe an inch and a half...would love it twice that. Some pits, but nice n round.I was sent the wrong thing (or it was falsely advertised).-It was not highly polished and mirror like (the surface was dull, rough and pitted with brown spots)-It did not come with a stand-It was not quite round, though probably to be expected with such a rough job natural stone-The box was very beat up, squished and taped closed. (Not very presentable)I emailed the seller about a week before Christmas (this was supposed to be a gift) and as of the middle of January I still haven't heard a thing from them. Wouldn't recommend.I love my Rhyolite sphere. It is beautiful and the size is as described. It fits the stand nicely. I saw the negative review but had prior and quite satisfactory purchases with this seller so decided to purchase it and I am glad I did. Rhyolite is one of my favorite stones. If you like Rhyolite, you won't be disappointed.Still trying to incorporate this with healing for my daughter but she connects and I love itwasn't to happy to see it. you write crystal ball CLEAR quartz stone mine seeing stone is very cloudy i can't see anythingI thought this was a larger sphere. Nice, but very small! It is as it states in the description, I was just not reading it correctly. Very colorful, but needs to be on a shelf where it can be seen!I was disappointed because this was so small. The stand is too big and does not hold it well. The sphere almost falls through the not so elegant stand.
