Amazon has a wide selection— on their site just search for crystal balls.
There are several metaphysical bookstores in some major cities-- Namaste in NYC is one of the best in the country, Also a big one in SanFrancisco I don't remember the name.I'm pretty sure they mail stuff. Someone I know in Austin said there's one there but its not that big
(Most People who are really into this sort of stuff prefer to actually hold the item in their hands to "feel its energy" before buying-- but then again if they're really evolved they can just "tune in psychically" to feel its energy!)
I have a beautiful Tarot deck. I also have a mini deck for traveling. I also have three or four pendulums. I am hoping the crystal ball will fit right in.
I have most of the things on the link already. I really should post a pic of my alter room. Some people may find it interesting...others may find it scary and condemn me to hell.
Well of course they're not all necessary-- that's just suggestions on her part. (She is one of many, many people who have their own Youtube Tarot-reading column- those that have a lot of followers earn big bucks!)
I have known readers who always just use one deck. Some alternate between a few. I have also known readers who collect decks (many do have very beautiful or interesting artwork).
I haven't read the cards in a long time. But when I do I use one of my two favourite decks:
A person can get them made from various materials. Quartz, beryl, calcite, obsidian, amethyst, or glass to name a few. The one I ordered is blown glass, I like the clear visual of it.

The main cat was actually named Pyewacket (a common name for witch's familiars) in real life, but he was played by 12 different cats , as noted in a 1958 newspaper article in the Daily Reporter: “A cat may have nine lives everywhere else, but in Hollywood it's 12. Oct 29, 2016
Just curious-- why do people want such large crystal balls?
(I have some experience scrying, and I see no advantage to having such a large one...although I've used things other than crystal balls):
This is an actual photo of the Psychic program I was in-- here we are practicing scrying with a shiny flat Black surface-- can you guess what it was? (Obviously its not a crystal ball nor is it a highly polished flat piece of Obsidian-- two of the most common items used in scrying).
Scrying , also referred to as "seeing" or "peeping," is a practice rooted in divination and fortune-telling . It involves gazing into a medium, hoping to receive significant messages or visions that could offer personal guidance, prophecy , revelation , or inspiration. [1] The practice lacks a definitive distinction from other forms of clairvoyance or divination but generally relies on visions within the chosen medium. Unlike augury , which interprets observable events, or divination, which follows standardized rituals, scrying's impressions arise within the medium itself.
The terminology and methods of scrying are diverse and lack a standardized structure. Practitioners coin terms such as "crystallomancy," "spheromancy," or " catoptromancy ," naming practices based on the medium or technique employed. These practices have been reinvented throughout history, spanning cultures and regions. Scrying media encompass reflective, refractive, or luminescent surfaces like crystals, mirrors, water, fire, or smoke . Some practitioners even close their eyes, engaging in "eyelid scrying."

Scrying is one form of divination. It involves looking into a "medium"-- most commonly a Crystal Ball. usually it involves gazing into a shiny surface (The term "medium" is used here for an "object"-- not someone who gets in touch with spirits of "deceased beings").
Usually scrying involves a Crystal Ball-- also commonly used is a flat cut piece of shiny black Obsidian.
What the teacher had us use if we wanted to avoid the expense of a crystal ball was a widely available inexpensive picture frame-- that usually has a piece of solid Black construction paper under the glass.).
Waiting in anticipation.
How big did you find. I've found clear crystal of any size to be damned hard to find.
It's only 5 inch in diameter. I did want a bigger one, but you are right - big ones are hard to find.
Bought mom a flawless 5 incher back when I was a rich rock n roller.
She was always asking what I was up to.
Told her to ask me no questions and I'd tell her no lies.
I repossessed it after she died and still have it.
But she said size didn't matter... Hahahaha! J/K. It'll do what you need it to do.

Do you do readings?
Do you gaze?
And-- just for fun-- in addition to a crystal ball, there are other things some Tarot readers might like (h/t Kate AKA "Daily Tarot Girl" ):
Tarot Reading Must Haves
Of course they're not really "must haves" but rather they might be things that just might be fun . . . :

What deck do you use?
I have known readers who always just use one deck. Some alternate between a few. I have also known readers who collect decks (many do have very beautiful or interesting artwork).
I haven't read the cards in a long time. But when I do I use one of my two favourite decks:
1. The Morgan Greer
2. The Rider deck.
I'm still not mature enough to participate in this thread...
I hope the future looks bright.
Here's hoping. Things are going well so far.
Not to worry-- I'm sure he will mature eventually!
What is it made of? Genuine crystal?
A person can get them made from various materials. Quartz, beryl, calcite, obsidian, amethyst, or glass to name a few. The one I ordered is blown glass, I like the clear visual of it.

Here's a scene from one of my favourite movies:
Bell, Book and candle - "Spell Scene"
Well, Krishna, as I said in my comment I can't open YouTube, but is the scene around this image what you meant?
I do have that whole scene with Kim Novak, James Stewart and the cat on bilibil i.,
looks like the same thing to me
Yes.
BTW here's a bit of movie trivia-- some interesting info re: the cat Pyewacket in the movie:
That IS interesting. so what's in the big space under it?
I'm not sure I understand your question. What big space are you referring to-- under...what?
On my screen it shows a big space under your comment. It could just be a glitch on my part.
Whoopie!!!!!!!
Yep, as Oda Mae Brown.
I was not a fan of that movie, but I loved her character and her portrayal.
I understand that they are difficult to find especially in a larger size.

I suppose it depends upon what you mean by "large":
This is sold on Amazon:
LONGWIN 200mm(8 inch) Huge Clear Divination Crystal Ball Meditation Glass Sphere Free Wooden Stand Home Decoration Ornaments
About this item
I just took a quick look on Amazon. This one seems pretty large to me!
(Of course its possible Amazon sells even larger ones that I missed....and of course other vendors might have larger ones.
This one weighs 23.5 lbs...

K9 crystal is lead free glass. I think Veronica was looking of clear, inclusion free, natural crystal.
Actually that's an unfair question as there's no way to tell from the photo.

They are and can be pricey. I ordered a blown glass one from one of my usual vendors. I am so excited.
