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 following table lists the mass and diameter of each denomination, assuming a uniform round cut.

== Spheres as Light ==
Spheres are normally described by their gemstone and denomination. However, instead of the gemstone, spheres are sometimes referred to by color. For example, a ruby mark may be referred to as a "firemark" while a diamond chip may be referred to as a "clearchip." Below is the list of known alternate names.
