Crystals were believed to possess healing and protective properties, and were also used for magical purposes. These crystal objects were likely valued not only for their purported powers but also for their economic worth. This crystal sphere was found in Lauchheim, dating to the late 6th or early 7th century.</p><p><a href="https://social.anoxinon.de/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>archaeology</span></a></p>
