These 8 inch globes are made from stainless steel which allows them to be SHATTERPROOF, NON- TARNISHING, and THEY EVEN FLOAT! Available in a wide variety of colors. The mystic globe is silver with a special coating that makes it look multicolored. It looks great in any setting as it seems to pick up the surrounding colors. Our stainless steel gazing globes are great outdoors or indoors for event decorating. They even float however, use in chlorinated or salt water pools will void warranty.
