Answer 1

You can find a glass globe at a home supply store like Home Depot or Lowes. Buy some tea lights (small candles in little metal holders) at Walmart, these are very inexpensive. The only problem is when you place the globe over the candles it is going to put the candles out, so glow sticks might be better. You could maybe use a battery powered light like the touch lights available at Walmart or Target and place the globe over one of these. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

OMG I hate those "idk" or "just look it up" answers.  Also on my list of pet peives is "google it" and "ebay".  I report the answers but Yahoo just doesn't seem to care.  Okay enough of my rant, onto your question.

I think that a glass paperweight would look great.  They have all sorts of color swirls in them that might give your "crystal ball" a more magical look.  To make it glow simply paint the bottom of the paperweight with a high quality glow paint.  Here are two links to get your started:

As the other person mentioned, you can get also get glass balls at home improvement stores, usually as part of a light fixture or scounse.  A frosted one would be best so you don't see the glow stick inside, just its light.  Something like this would be perfect, just use the ball part and toss the rest, then put the opening over your glow sticks:

This site I have bookmarked for all my glow needs.  They have glow sticks, glow necklaces, et cetera.  You can buy individual necklaces for twenty four cents.  I really think that a tangle of a few necklaces would look better than glow sticks because with the glow sticks only the bottome of the ball will glow, where as if you stuff it with a big tangle of the necklaces the entire ball will glow nice and brightly.
