== Appearance == Each sphere is made of a tiny gemstone encased in a glass bead, usually flattened on one side to keep the sphere from rolling away when set down.{{book ref\|sa1\|27}} The glass bead has a fixed size - a little larger than a person's thumbnail.{{book ref\|sa1\|3}} Contrasting the uniformity of the bead, the gemstone inside comes in a variety of types and sizes; its type can belong to any one ~~of nine out~~ of the ten [[Polestone]]s,{{book ref\|twok\|8}} and each one of those comes in three different sizes. ~~While eight of the types have been revealed, it is unknown whether smokestone or heliodor is the Polestone without a sphere, or why it is not used in spheres.~~ === Dimensions === # https://www.gemsociety.org/article/standard-gem-sizes-chart/ # https://www.diamondnexus.com/product-education-mm-to-catat-weight-conversion.html ~~The natural property of gemstones to absorb Stormlight and emit a glow also leads to infused spheres being used as light sources.~~ == Currency == Although spheres are generally a superior source of light, many people, especially those less well-off or living in poorer districts, still use candles or lanterns. Using candles and lanterns is often cheaper than using spheres, since a sphere's dual status as currency makes it liable to be stolen. This problem does not exist for wealthy or noble [[lighteyes]] who may use all-sphere lighting either as a practical matter or to show off their wealth. For example, the entirety of [[Kharbranth]]'s royal treasury is stored in the [[Palanaeum]] to be used as a source of light for the visitors and staff.{{book ref\|twok\|33}} {\| class="infobox" style="margin: auto;" ~~Zircon spheres give off a pale-blue light.{{book ref\|twok\|37}}~~ \|+ Spherelight colors {{row\| Color \| Deep \| Light \| pre=! width=25% style="font-weight: bold;" {{!}} }} {{row\| Blue \| Sapphire \| Zircon \|}} {{row\| Red \| Ruby \| Amethyst & Garnet \|}} {{row\| Yellow \| Topaz \| Heliodor \|}} {{row\| Green \| Emerald \| -- \|}} {{row\| Grayscale\| Smokestone \| Diamond \|}} \|} {\| class="infobox" style="margin: auto;" \|+ Spherelight colors (alternative) {{row\| Gem type \| Color \| pre=! width=25% style="font-weight: bold;" {{!}} }} {{row\| Sapphire \| Deep blue \|}} {{row\| Smokestone \| Deep gray \|}} {{row\| Ruby \| Deep red \|}} {{row\| Diamond \| Light gray \|}} {{row\| Emerald \| Deep green \|}} {{row\| Garnet \| Light red \|}} {{row\| Zircon \| Light blue \|}} {{row\| Amethyst \| Light red \|}} {{row\| Topaz \| Deep yellow \|}} {{row\| Heliodor \| Light yellow \|}} \|} == Spheres as Investiture ==
