Abstract: We study Banach spaces with a weak stable unit ball, that is Banach spaces where every convex combination of relatively weakly open subsets in its unit ball is again a relatively weakly open subset in its unit ball. It is proved that the class of

L_{1}

preduals with a weak stable unit ball agree with those

L_{1}

preduals which are purely atomic, that is preduals of

e l l_{1} (G a m m a)

for some set

G a m m a

, getting in this way a complete geometrical characterization of purely atomic preduals of

L_{1}

, which answers a setting problem. As a consequence, we prove the equivalence for

L_{1}

preduals of different properties previously studied by other authors, in terms of slices around weak stability. Also we get the weak stability of the unit ball of

C_{0} (K, X)

whenever

K

is a Hausdorff and scattered locally compact space and

X

has a norm stable and weak stable unit ball, which gives the weak stability of the unit ball in

C_{0} (K, X)

for finite-dimensional

X

with a stable unit ball and

K

as above. Finally we prove that Banach spaces with a weak stable unit ball satisfy a very strong new version of diameter two property.
