This Beautiful Gemstone Globe Available Now!

This is a spectacular demonstration of hand craftsmanship. This gem stone globe is painstakingly assembled by hand using over 30 different semi-precious stones from all over the world! The globe itself is 6" in diameter! It is mounted on a beautiful three-leg heavy polished gold finished stand. At the base of the stand, there is a very precise glass-topped integral compass to complete the globe. Overall, the dimensions of the piece are approximately, 11" X 10" X 11". Each country is inlaid from a different stone, and the stones are individually cut and ground to exacting interlocking shapes, polished and set into this exquisite piece of art with care and attention to adjacencies. The elements of the globe are created out of 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. Each globe requires a minimum of ten individual steps to compose, and it takes several hundred hours of labor to complete! The globe is new, and will arrive in mint condition in its original box, with all of its original packaging. This is the ultimate gift for any world traveler, map or globe collector, nautical, maritime, boat or sailing aficionado or geography buff! These globes are generally sold only at high-end retail and specialty stores as they are of such high quality and so expensive - they often retail for hundreds of dollars! We are offering these globes at wholesale prices!
