Help Please help with materia question - i need some expert advice :)

[majinite]

greetings all. I am new to the board. I wanted to get some info on materia. i want to start creating materia displays for friends and fans of the series but I need to know how big the materia actually are. ive tried in vain to search for some actual pictures of the ff7 characters holding materia, so that I have a size approximation. i have seen one pic of cloud holding the black materia, but i know all materia isnt that large. i know some doujinshi have pics like that but i cant find them now. anyone have any info? id really appreciate some actual pics of artwork which displays them holding the materia so i can get the best reference when i start making these. i believe the balls themselves would be around 50 mm to 60 mm. i will also need to find some crystal ball vendors who have balls that resemble the materia very closely, so any help with actual colors would be great also. ive tried to find some pics with the colors that I can show to vendors to assist them in finding the closest ones they can. appreciate any advice. thanks again and once i get this info and have them built, i will post some pics for everyone. thanks

Well i'm pretty sure in Advent Children Kadaj or someone holds materia in their hand on a few occasions, perhaps you could look for screenshots from the movie, or watch the movie and pause it at the correct scenes to get a general idea of size and shape.

Aside from that, maybe a fansite could hold details on materia?

Just big enough to fit in between your thumb, middle finger, and index finger, it is no very big. Just draw a circle as big as you can on the top of your wrist. that is the size. Got it?
