Crystal Ball aka Charmstone aka Charm Stone
- Healing Powers
- Stewart of Ardsheal/Argyllshire, Scotland

This crystal ball charmstone belonged to the Stewarts of Ardsheal in Argyllshire,
and was once thought to hold great healing powers.

The silver mounts date from the 16th or 17th century.

‘The chain enabled the charm to be dipped in water which could be given to people
or animals as a drink to cure disease or prevent illness.
The act of dipping the charm was accompanied by a verbal charm or prayer.’
