Globe is dark blue what is the various colors for all the land masses. All the latitude and longitude lines are made out of a glitter type material. It is a beautiful globe. Bases all copper underneath the globe in the base there is a compass.. my research shows me that this is a handmade world globe made of semi precious stones but it is not a blue lapis. I have found one online for 3 plus shipping. Check the photos for the height check the photos carefully ask any questions if you need to thanks One last note globe is very heavy that’s the reason for the shipping
