Yes, those shimmering oceans are made of deep blue lapis lazuli, and they are indeed surrounded by a sparkling mosaic of landmasses in turquoise, malachite, red coral, abalone, jade, mother-of-pearl, amethyst, and many other semi-precious stones! Our world globes are meticulously crafted using hand-cut, hand-fitted stones delineating land and ocean with gold and silver inlays for latitude, longitude, and equator lines. Because every country is formed by hand, each gem-encrusted orb requires up to 40 hours to assemble! Select from among three sizes for the den, office, or library.
