Instead of the gold stand shown, silver
or copper stands are available for the same price.
These
magnificent handmade jewelers quality gemstone globes are created
with each country (yes country, not just the continents) inlaid
with one of over 20 different, highly polished, semiprecious
stones. Even a small gemstone globe can take many man-hours
to painstakingly assemble and polish. Some of the strikingly
different stones used are Amethyst, Jade, Mother-of-pearl, Lapis
Lazuli, Tiger-eye, Green Agate, Abalone, Red Jasper, Rhodonite,
Snow Flake, Turquerentine, Unakite, and Picture Jasper.
(These jewelers quality gemstone globes
are also available for the same price with oceans in black onyx, rather than the blue lapis shown. There is also
limited availability with oceans in red jasper, yellow jasper, white howlite, turquoise, green, or purple.)
