The listing

📝 Description Selling a breathtaking, vintage 1990s large semi-precious gemstone world globe. This museum-quality statement piece features a brilliant, deep cobalt blue ocean surface completely handcrafted from genuine crushed Lapis Lazuli. Every country and territory is individually cut, polished, and inlaid using an array of distinct, semi-precious minerals and iridescent shells so that no two regions look alike. The latitude and longitude grids are seamlessly embedded with polished metallic ribbons. Details & Dimensions: • Measurements: 18" Total Diameter × 19" Total Height. • Integrated Compass: Features a beautiful, functioning built-in glass-covered directional needle compass integrated directly into the center base of the lower legs. • Cradle Stand: Heavy, incredibly sturdy cast metal frame with an elegant brushed copper/antique bronze finish, ornate curved legs, and a full-horizon meridian ring. • Craftsmanship: Thousands of individual hand-carved stone pieces form the complete continental map. 💎 Gemstone & Mineral Authenticity Disclaimer: Please note that this is an authentic, artisan-crafted gemstone mosaic globe—not a cheap printed plastic reproduction. The continents are meticulously pieced together using genuine, naturally sourced earth minerals which may include Jade, Jasper, Turquoise, Mother of Pearl, Abalone, Tiger’s Eye, Quartz, Amethyst, and Onyx, among others. Condition: Excellent vintage condition! The globe surface is incredibly glossy, smooth, and clean, with no missing stone fragments or deep scratches. The copper-finish cradle stand is structurally perfect, and the glass compass casing is clear and free of cracks. 📍 Pickup Info: Cash only. Located in Castle Rock. This is a heavy, high-value luxury item, so local pickup is required. Please bring a secure box or blanket to protect it during transport!
