Spheres were the major units of currency used on Roshar.
They were made of gemstones that were set inside glass spheres.[citation needed] The gemstones came in three denominations; chips, marks and broams. There were five chips to a mark, and four marks to a broam.[citation needed]
Each glass bead was about the size of a thumbnail and flattened on one side, to keep it from rolling away when set down.[citation needed]
If left outside during a highstorm, spheres would be infused with Stormlight.
