I recently acquired some spheres. Could anyone help with ID on what this is? There are some silver colored specs on it that did not photograph well. Thank you

My guess is Quartz(grey), Feldspar(tan), Garnet(pink) and the silver mineral probably muscovite. Decorative items like this are tough, since obviously any type of destructive testing on the minerals is out of the question.

Thanks. I did not want to try to scratch it to test hardness.

I identify that as my sphere, so how did you get it?
