"A magic glowing orb"
Over the last 30 days it traded between 853 and 1,059 gp on the Grand Exchange, averaging 968 gp. About 383,129 units changed hands per day. The price is down 16.9% across that window. The Grand Exchange buy limit is 11,000 every 4 hours. Selling one at the average price costs 19 gp in Grand Exchange tax.
