When considering the fine and ancient art of crystal ball reading, one should consider seriously investing in a quartz crystal ball. The cost is scientifically more undoubtedly, but well worth it. If one wants a crystal ball more for show however, more for a prop on your table, then lead crystal is your choice.

Why choose quartz? Primarily because, lead crystal is man made. It is manufactured . Wise geek tells us:

Lead crystal is made from glass that has been treated with lead oxide and hand or machine cut to make facets. This gives the glass a higher index of refraction and creates an attractive sparkling effect that is prized throughout the world.
Englishman George Ravenscroft is credited with discovering lead crystal in 1676. Today, popular manufacturers of lead crystal include Waterford Crystal, Swarovski, Steuban Glass, Royal Leerdam, Mikasa, and Baccarat. These companies make lead crystal drinking glasses and serving dishes, as well as sculptures, miniatures, jewelry, chandeliers, candleholders, Christmas ornaments, and home décor items.
