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 gemstone can belong to any one of the ten [[Polestone]]s,{{book ref|twok|8}} and can come in one of three different sizes. The glass bead is always a uniform size, little larger than a person's thumb nail.{{book ref|sa1|3}}
 
Exact measurements for the glass beads or their embedded gemstones are not available, but they can be deduced from a Reddit post by [[Peter Ahlstrom]] where he confirms the weight of each denomination, in carats.{{cite}} The table to the left lists the mass and diameter of the gemstone in each denomination, assuming a uniform round cut.
