Abstract

A crystal ball having an assembled motive die set. The crystal ball includes a music box and a driving base, wherein the driving base has a plurality of driven gears which are driven by the center motive gear installed on the base of the driving substrate. Assembled motive die sets representing different motion types are mounted on the upper cover of the base with respect to the driven gears, and are changeable as desired. The motive die set is influenced by the dynamic force of the music box through the driving base.
