Crystal ball, e.g. (3)

I believe the answer is:

orb

(Other definitions for orb that I've seen before include "Item of royal regalia" , "Part of royal regalia" , "ball with cross" , "Sphere (found in regalia)" , "Royal sphere (paired with 13 across)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the LA Times, the USA Today and the Universal.
