Blue Lapis Ocean 6-in. Gemstone Globe

Blue Lapis Ocean 6-in. Gemstone Globe


This large 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 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--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. 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!

Lapis Globe, September 22, 2006

"Truly beautiful, but much larger than I expected. The 6 inch description refers only to the globe itself, not to the stand it comes in, which is at least 4 inches larger. It's quite an imposing piece."

nice but not sure worth the value for size, August 28, 2006
By Royal from New Rochelle, NY
Value: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

"I had seen these locally in a 4 in globe size and i liked the detail vs size. SInce the cost wasnt' extraordinarily greater I opted for the 6 inch model, and i'm not sure it was worht the difference.

These globes are very confusing, the sizes vary and the stands change with the sizes. Some of the pictures for one size are used for others and the products do differ. The color of my stand is not polished gold as this picture shows, but a brushed copper model that I can't find anymore.

It is very nice, i'm just not sure i find the 6in more attractive(and worth the $$) than the 4in model.
