Nova, 13” Illuminated Gemstone Floor Globe

Since their first introduction, Gemstone Globes have enjoyed the distinction of being the epitome of decorative Earth globes. With the introduction of the Magellan Starlight series of illuminated Gemstone Globes, the old standard has been swept away.

Anyone familiar with Gemstone Globes knows what a beautiful addition they make to your home or office. Now imagine taking your favorite room to the next level of luxurious refinement. With the flip of a switch, the already beautiful globe becomes truly breathtaking! The translucent oceans glow and the semiprecious gemstones come alive as they are bathed in the soft internal lighting. All the while the globe rotates continuously to provide an unobstructed view of every aspect of your beautiful Gemstone Earth Globe.

Containing some 190 semi precious gemstones, the Nova provides a colorful representation of the political world, with each country represented by its own semiprecious stone. As you would expect from a high quality Gemstone Globe, the Nova is crafted with meticulous care and compares favorably to any of the top quality, non illuminated, Gemstone Globes. However, with the addition of its internal illumination and powered rotation, the Nova raises the experience of owning a Gemstone Globe to a whole new level of visual enjoyment.

Because of the demands imposed by its illuminated nature, each semi precious gemstone used in the Nova is specifically chosen for its clarity, beauty and translucence. Once selected; each gemstone is beveled to fit the curvature of the 13 inch diameter globe core, is cut to the shape of the country it represents, and is sculpted to mirror the shape of the adjacent stones. After adding the oceans, the gold toned longitude and latitude lines are applied, along with individual location names. Sealed in a durable transparent finish, the Nova will provide years of viewing pleasure.

Even though the Nova possesses the simplest stand in the Starlight series of Gemstone Globes, it is the perfect design for capturing the majesty and wonder of the night sky. Drawing upon the design influence of early Armillary spheres, the Nova brings to mind the Ptolemaic version of the universe, with the Earth residing at the center of the celestial sphere. Boasting over 30 decorative spheres; the Nova is a modernized reminder that our planet is but one among the millions of inhabitants of our vast Milky Way Galaxy and the billions of inhabitants of the seemingly infinite universe. Enhancing the resemblance to an Armillary sphere, the versatile sun indicator inclines both north and south of the equator, enabling you to simulate the seasonal progression of the sun throughout the solar year.

The Nova is available in a comprehensive selection of ocean colors. Choose Ivory, Lapis Blue, or Snow White in solid ocean colors, or Cambridge Blue, Medium Emerald, Rose Red, or White, in pearl ocean colors.

If you have been looking for just the right décor element for your most difficult decorating challenge, you owe it to yourself to choose a genuine Starlight illuminated Gemstone Globe. Whether used as the central focal point or a dramatic accent piece, the Nova will project your immaculate taste in luxurious décor.
