Yeah, a paperweight wouldn't work, but a full globe would.

Maybe this (a 3" "desktop globe with stand")?



Looks like it's got the design silkscreened on the "inside" of the globe. That might make for a ball that's too light to be a trackball, though. Unless it was filled with clear epoxy or something...

Ginsu Victim:
Typically too light PLUS they tend to have a seam at the equator.

drventure:
Hmm, Too true.

There's always this (it's solid crystal and 300$  :) )

Ginsu Victim:
Pretty nice, price aside.

Believe it or not, I spent a LOT of time investigating a jacobs ladder, but what I found is that it requires an INSANE high voltage to get that effect (something along the lines of exposing a monitor flyback coil voltage), and that's getting just a tad over the line for me  :)

You could "Fake" the JL by putting up the Wires and running some light conductive material across the wires, then have an LED stobe the "rung" to make it look like one. I've seen some fakes, decorative of course, but still give's teh "effect"
