glass orb

Transparent round object

A glass orb is a spherical ball made of glass, typically decorative or used for fortune-telling and similar mystical practices.

Crystal balls are the most familiar type—the cloudy spheres that psychics supposedly gaze into to see the future.

Glass orbs also appear as garden decorations, Christmas ornaments, and collectibles: The witch peered into her glass orb.
