Ivory Ocean 13-in. Gemstone Globe

Ivory Ocean 13-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 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 ivory, lapis lazule, 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!

"The Globe came in 48 hours, was shipped very well. It is more beautiful in person than the picture. I gave this as a father's day present and he was delighted. Everyone comments on how gorgeous it is and very well made.
I highly recommend this and do want one myself.

"Its a good item,. for the price. The only thing I would recommend Overstock is to clean the item before they pack and Ship it. Since my item was dirty as it could had been sitting open in the warehouse.
Thanks

"There is only one word to describe this globe: Gorgeous, simply Gorgeous.
I saw one, originally, in our town at a Sale Price and it was still $200 dollars more than this one. I am so very delighted with this Gemstone Globe.

Value: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

"This is so pretty, I just wish I had a stand to place it on. If I could redo my order I would of bought the freestanding globe because this one does take up some space. It is truly a work of art though. Everyone comments on how pretty it is. I am glad I bought it, now just to buy it a stand."
