Crystaline matrix? Its also the natural shape of garnet. One thing I've noticed looking online, while the linked example is a hollow ball, a lot of them weren't completely hollow, they just had shafts that met at the center, but they ALL had a central opening that joined all the holes. I wonder if they wove in thread or leather thongs?
