No. It does refract light, but it has a curved surface. Prisms typically have three or more sides that are parallel to a single axis. While a crystal ball does have an axis, too, it's "sides" are curved. Plus, being solid, it handles the light much differently than a prism does.
To create a rainbow effect on windows, you can use a prism or a crystal hanging in direct sunlight. When sunlight passes through the prism or crystal, it will refract and create a rainbow spectrum on the window.

The Waterford Crystal Ball used in the Times Square New Year's Eve celebration weighs approximately 11,875 pounds (5,386 kilograms). This iconic ball is made up of 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles and is illuminated by over 32,000 LED lights. The ball measures 12 feet (3.7 meters) in diameter and is suspended above Times Square on a specially designed flagpole.
A prism. It can be made of glass, crystal, or other hard clear material.
The formula for calculating the angle of deviation in a prism is: Angle of Deviation (Refractive index of the prism - 1) x Prism angle.
The cost of a Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism cell phone is around $200. The Nokia 7900 Crystal Prism has some of the features of a smart phone, but it does not have a full size screen like most.
That is the correct spelling of the word "prism" (an angular solid, or a crystal that scatters light).
An example of a crystal ball question is "Does he love me?"
