This large gemstone globe has been painstakingly assembled by hand using 37 different semi-precious stones from all over the world!
Our globe is 13 inches in diameter, and has been mounted on a beautiful three-legged, polished brass stand. At the bottom of the stand, there is a very precise glass-topped integral brass compass.
Each country is inlaid from a different, individually cut stone that has been polished and set into this exquisite piece of art. The elements of the globe are created out of lapis lazuli, mother-of-pearl, amethyst, African jade, tiger's eye, black jasper, turquoise, purple quartz, onyx, unakite, abalone and many other beautifully hued stones. The latitude and longitude lines are very thin ribbons of brass, embedded through the globe.
This is the ultimate gift for any world traveler, map or globe collector, nautical, maritime, boat or sailing aficionado or geography buff!

I bought this globe for my husband; a friend gave me an idea of buying a globe and placing gemstones on all the countries we've visited as we travel a lot. It was so pretty that we were rethinking that idea, the surface is perfectly polished and simply beautiful. We went ahead with the rhinestones and they actually look great - it will be a conversation piece for our family for years to come.
My globe arrived and I was disappointed that the "gemstone" was mother of pearl. In the pictures on the site it looks like many different colors, when it arrived it is black and white. i am still debating on returning it. It does look well made, just not what I was expecting.
I purchased this for my daughter and son-in-laws anniversary gift and was not disappointed in the least. It arrived promptly, very well packaged and is beautiful. My only issue was that no product description was included therefore not paying justice to the solid brass, the real gemstones and details of this product. The gift is being enjoyed by the whole family and strategically placed in their waterfront home where guests pay many compliments as well as "play" with it. I would recommend this product to anyone but be forewarned, even being aware of the dimensions may not prepare you for this much larger than expected and magnificient piece of art.
I bought this as a unique wedding gift and I haven't heard from the wedding couple yet but as I looked at the gift prior to wraping it, it was very nice. My only issue is that it didn't come with any paperwork/packing list or description of the product so I had to made one up using the description on Overstock.com.
