This lapis lazuli ocean gemstone globe has been painstakingly assembled by hand using 37 different semi-precious stones from all over the world!
Our globe is 6 inches in diameter, and has been mounted on a beautiful three-legged polished bronze stand. A precise, glass-topped, integral bronze compass sits near the bottom of the stand.
Each country is inlaid from a different, individually cut stone that has been polished and set into this exquisite piece of art: ivory, lapis lazuli, mother-of-pearl, amethyst, African jade, tiger's eye, jasper, turquoise, purple quartz, onyx, unakite, abalone, and many other beautifully hued stones. Very thin ribbons of brass form the latitude and longitude lines.
This is the ultimate gift for any world traveler, map or globe collector, or geography buff!

Customer Reviews
It's a nice piece to have on a desk. A perfect size if you don't have alot of room. Was shipped very fast and came in perfect condition.
Absolutely beautiful. The colors are pretty and the bronze holder really set it off beautifully. Small enough to keep on your desk or coffe table where you can take advantage of the compass. An excellent gift or something to buy for your home.

The globe is quite beautiful and well worth the price. I noticed a small scratch on the underside of the globe, and I wish there was an enclosed description of the different gemstones used. But these are small detractions.
