Semi-Precious Gemstone Solitaire Board Game

This is a luxury tabletop Solitaire board game featuring a circular mahogany-finished wooden board and a full set of 36 polished mineral spheres. The wooden board is expertly lathed with a tiered outer rim for capturing discarded pieces and 37 indentations arranged in a classic central-cross configuration. The marbles are crafted from a variety of semi-precious natural gemstones, including what appears to be malachite, jasper, amethyst, quartz, and turquoise-colored minerals, each approximately 20mm to 25mm in diameter. The spheres exhibit high-quality lapidary work with a glossy, reflective polish, showcasing natural inclusions, banding, and unique crystalline structures. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips to the stone spheres and a smooth, well-preserved satin finish on the wood. This style of high-end game set gained popularity in the late 20th century as a decorative executive desk accessory, often attributed to makers such as Gump's or specialized gift boutiques. The set is complete, with the central hole remaining empty for commencement of play, and demonstrates fine craftsmanship in both the woodworking and the stone-cutting processes.
