5Star-TD Natural Earth Marble

I teach Reiki, and have started giving these as graduation gifts to my students. We use it as a meditation focus, for our collective World Peace meditations. If you do environmental justice work, peace work, anything for which our small blue marble planet is the focus, this is a perfect pocket-size touchstone for our Mother Earth. But they're also just lovely to look at and to hold! I'll be buying more.

Neat, slightly over-priced, image is a print on, but still pretty cool

This is a pretty marble but picture was a little deceiving, the design was painted on

Perfect for what I wanted. Kids love it, map is accurate.

The marble itself is shiny. The continents are then splatched onto the marble with a drab paint that feels like it will flake off in a short period of time. I expected the whole marble would be shiny as depicted, but nope. It's right at the price range that I'm not going to send it back because it's not worth my time to do it, but I don't recommend anyone to buy this Earth Marble. What would fix this would be if they'd have put another clear coat over the whole marble after they painted the continents on, then this would have been worth the cost. As it is, it's not pretty at all.

very pretty marble a great addition

These are so great! I got my first one at World Of Maps in Maine, which is now Garmin (bummer because they don't have the gift shop there like MAPS did. It's very cool. If you get a magnifying glass and look at it closely, you can even see the rivers.

not sure it was worth the money.live and learn
