Colourless transparent quartz (7)
I believe the answer is:
crystal
'colourless transparent quartz' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for crystal that I've seen before include "The fortune teller may use a . . . . . . . ball" , "Type of clear-cut, lucent glass" , "Very clear glass" , "Clear mineral, eg, quartz" , "Globe for the fortune-teller" .)
