For those of us who think of the deep blue oceans.. this globe features blue lapis oceans. The latitude and longitude lines are thin inlaid ribbons of polished brass. Each continent on the globe is inlaid with various stones. The gemstones are individually cut to exacting interlocking country shapes, polished, and set into this elegant 24-karat gold plated tripod stand.. Craftsmen place the carved countries with care and attention to adjacencies, creating a fascinating mosaic of continents.

The globe must not be placed in direct sunlight or spotlights as this may lead to cracking of the acrylic coating.
