These are great! I bought the gold and the multi globes. They are different enough from the run of the mill gazing balls yet not so weird that you’d suffer buyer’s remorse. The colored bits of glass are transparent, which is not really shown in the pictures. They reflect light and seem to change color. The gold one is more aptly named than the picture indicates: it is more gold than colorful despite the glass being different colors. The multi does have white between the bits of stained glass. I haven’t put them outside yet because of some rare freezing weather here in San Antonio, so I can’t wait to see them in sunlight. They arrived intact, packed with styrofoam in strong cartons. Y’all would be happy with these among the greenery in your gardens!
