Magnificent sphere of lapis lazuli and other gemstones. Each country is inlaid with the gemstone from it (this has not always been successful, as not all countries of the world are home to gemstones). The globe has been completely hand-inserted and is protected by a plastic coating, so it is no problem to rotate the globe. And a beautiful compass under the centre of the globe. Our shipping costs have been verified and approved by Catawiki. We use an external shipping company that carries out the final inspection, collection, packaging and shipping; that is how the shipping costs are calculated. The buyer will be responsible for all import/export costs, customs and shipping charges, etc. Please also take a look at our other items and save costs for shipping and personal collection. In some photos, the stone was illuminated to show you its colour. We have photographed some stones with a light source placed below in order to better demonstrate the colour of these pieces. Please also consider that differences in colour are possible, because every computer screen, monitor and mobile phone display MAY show colours a little differently!
