Explore The Magnificence Of The World With A Gemstone Globe

By Gayla L. Mayer


Much like Christopher Columbus, Vasco de Gama and other globe-trotting greats, a voyage around the world seems exhilarating. In modern times, this type of journey would not be possible without the assistance of an expertly-crafted Gemstone Globe.

If you've always been a lover of all things geological, this is the globe you've been waiting for. When I was much younger, I always enjoyed reading about the wonders of the world including faraway lands, empires, oceans and seas. Or how the early explorers set out across the oceans in search of new worlds-even when they weren't certain if the world was round!

Think about it; would you have set sail in 1492 if there was no assurance of your return? I'm not certain I would have been able to seek out quite an adventure. Furthermore, the captain wasn't the only person putting his life on the line. Cartographers (map makers) and other professionals would have been needed to document and draw these astounding geographic discoveries.

Just think about the moment that they spotted a never-before-seen land mass creeping up over the horizon. These voyages must have been a mixed bag of emotions; for example, you might have been thrilled and excited by the newness of the discovery, yet frightened by the uncertainty. And a good many of these expeditions lasted for the better part of two years.

But now, you don't have to wait many months or years to appease your sense of adventure. Now, a handmade globe can take you on an exclusive and lively excursion to hemispheres on the other side of the earth.

But don't reserve all of this adventure and exhilaration for yourself-share the fun. A hand-crafted Gemstone World Globe is the ideal gift (birthday or holiday) for many of your family members or close friends. The entrepreneur will be attracted to a globe that is mounted on an arch and base, that can easily rest atop a desk or cabinet. Bookworms would get a thrill out of a free-standing globe that could be used to add a measure of personality and distinction to an in-home library/study.

So, if you'd like to take a voyage around the world, or you know someone who would, a Gemstone Globe delivers-bringing hand-crafted geography from the artisan to the admirer. I often think about what Vasco de Gama, and many of the early explorers, cartographers and astrologers would make of how far we've come-and even our ambitions to land on Mars. Undiscovered worlds await!
