Where to get a glass sphere or crystal ball for reflections?

[Hired Goon]

I've seen some images lately that use a small glass sphere (or crystal ball) to get reflections. It's something I'd like to try but I'm not sure where to source one of these spheres.

On ebay there are some available but most are cheap imports from Hong Kong or China which raises a few red flags.

I saw a fushigi ball at Big W the other day but this seems to be acrylic rather than glass and may not be all that reflective.

Any suggestions?

If is made of glass this crystal ball or prism does it really matter if it's made overseas and only costs a few dollars as long as its works that's all you want

Or try this shop http://happyherbcompany.com/westend scroll down a fair way seems they have quirky items there, you never know your luck

Look for a magician/juggling/performing store. They stock glass balls for contact juggling etc and may even have the larger ones used by 'psychics'

Why not try and put your own take on it, the glass ball is old news. A prism, other glass shape. Other mirror shape (shiny ball also done before). I remember Tim Wallace (Ambient Life) once did a series of landscapes with a chair in. Etc....
