Check the other shops - maybe you sold it to one of the others. Things you sell don't disappear from the shop. Remember to not only check the "normal" shop, but the "guild" shop. Should be there.
BUT, should you still not locate it, you're not in any serious difficulty. You'll get new quests in the next town and you will still be able to max out on guild levels.
Other option would be to reload a saved game or consider starting over with the party you've already made - that sounds drastic but does have some advantages. You're party will keep almost everything they have (except quest items) as well as their experience/spells/etc. And the whole first section is a lot easier to do the second time through.
So, find the orb in the shop, reload a saved game, reset adventures, or continue on because missing this quest isn't that big a deal. Your choice!
Hope that helps!
