I have an amethyst pyramid which I keep beside my computer. And beside the pyramid, I have a snowflake obsidian crystal ball. Both crystals stand out against all the technology and papers and other clutter that is around, but are always comforting. A natural energy to balance out the static electricity and artificial light from the monitor.
I like to hold the crystals from time to time, I like to feel the coolness of them, and the sharp, straight edges of the pyramid and the never ending edge of the crystal ball.
The crystal ball looked different from how I remembered it last. The white spots seem to be slightly greyer than I remember, and they appear to be more in clusters rather than all over the surface of the sphere. However, the white spots (snowflakes) are actually grey in colour.
Black bands swirl around, one in fact completely goes full circle, around what I class as the top of the crystal ball. Obviously, it’s round so it has no top or bottom. And these swirls put me in mind of the markings on the planet Jupiter.
The thing is, behind the white markings, there was something else. Something I’d never seen before. A face? Well, head and shoulders definitely. I thought at first that it was a reflection of my face, but as I moved, the face didn’t, and stayed where it was. In fact, I moved away, and could still make out the outline of the head and shoulders.
Looking at the crystal ball now, all I can see is the reflection of the room – the figure that was peering out at me has gone.
Very strange.
In a good way, I hasten to add!
Snowflake obsidian balances the mind, body and spirit, and can be used for divination, grounding, protection, and scrying, among other things.

My snowflake obsidian crystal ball is photographed above, with my amethyst pyramid, and a little angel statue that I also keep by my computer. They are extremely close to the camera as well… they aren’t really that size!
