seeing stone
Divination sphere artifact
A seeing stone is a transparent or translucent crystal, often a polished sphere, used for divination or scrying—gazing into it to perceive visions, distant events, or hidden truths.
The term appears in folklore and fantasy literature, notably Tolkien's palantíri: She peered into the seeing stone, searching for signs of her lost brother.
