I don't believe they make mercury glass any more. I think that's what they used
to make the original gazing balls.

I buy the inexpensive ones. They last as long as the more expensive.

My Husband just bought me two gazing balls for my birthday....I had some
before, but they were the cheap ones from Walmart (nothing against WM, I
shop there all the time)....the ones he bought me, cost 2 1//2 times more
than the ones I bought. The problem I had with the ones I had before, was,
the gazing stuff wore off eventually. Has anyone bought the more expensive
ones and not had this problem?
