singing bowls appear to be the best candidates for hemispheres.

there are also  a few mixing bowls on the market - some of them are lightweight and they are standardized, .e.g. this one is 11" and large quantity available on ebay at $80/piece.

I wonder if stainless steel bowls would be as effective as copper as there very cheap.

gold and copper are both non ferromagnetic... nickel and iron may not work equivalently.

[WTF]

What I'm going to do is make the rest of it once everything arrives, I also get 2 copper discs, I'm thinking even without the proper spheres I should get some very minute effects, if I do get any effects then I get the bowls.

I must admit it if I known about the spheres I wouldn't have started this but I have already ordered a lot of it so might as well make the rest of it and see what happens. Can't wait to drill that 50mm amethyst quartz crystal ball when it comes.

[WTF]

Just found some very cheap bowls which I've just ordered, only bad thing about them is there only 5" deep instead of 6", so the performance will suffer a bit if it does work of course. Works out £67 cheaper than the better ones so worth it. If this thing don't work I just sell them on ebay.

Regarding gold plating, it's only 0.38 microns thick, that is so thin it probably won't have any effect.
