“Genesis Series IV” Plasma Globe

The Genesis Series IV Plasma Globe is everything you folks said it was I love it and so do all my friends!

After owning two, different, 8" globes (which bit the dust, one was my fault and another a cats') this surpasses all expectations. I just can't put it into words. No one is knocking this beast over. Best money spent in years. Glad I treated myself after watching this company for as long as I have. Someone will inherit this and be speechless too. Promethian Fire next year, perhaps. Great gas, great glass and very high class!

We now have a promethean and genesis, I like the promethean best my wife likes the genesis best. When they are both on my tv remote doesn't work.

Absolutely incredible display! My first Aurora display was the Promethean Fire, and I have been very happy with its performance. This is my second globe, and the difference between the two series is immediate and striking.

The clarity of the plasma discharge in the example I received is breathtaking- the glass envelope containing the gasses virtually disappears in a darkened room, the reflections of the glass sphere the only significant testimony to its boundaries. The colors are vibrant and the contrasts are dramatic.

The Genesis series is aptly named- the plasma tendrils follow a well defined life cycle, each beginning as an energetic sharp bright white- blue pencil thin line, twisting upon itself in rapid undulating twists, then branching and green as the stream nears the globe walls, terminating in short pink/orange stumps and embers as the branches meet the glass. These thin bright blue tendrils rise and evolve, becoming a soft lime green as they drift upward, softening slightly before combining with other discharges or gently winking out as they reach the upward most point of travel. An absolutely fascinating display that photographs and video simply find impossible to convey.

A stunning example of the art.

Now being a seasoned client with a few globes from Aurora, a different series Globe caught my eye and didn't let go. Already an appreciative owner of the Promethean Fire series (each is wonderfully different, as the Globes log hours sparking up the atmosphere), I found a taste for what I had initially opted out of in the Genesis Series.

Only ever having viewed the Promethean Fire series in person, the Genesis series has striking qualities which I clearly overlooked in my initial quest and research. While the Promethean Fire will have a globe which has a dreamy bluish fog to contrast the sweeping wisps of green-white tendrils, the Genesis Globe is sparkling clear. This produces a saturated and vivid show of activity, as the defined green tendrils and red/orange tips seem fluoresce and look surreal.

Devoted to the Promethean Fire Globes at first, this was but a start on a now expanding list of my love for these 15 inch spheres sitting upright on a finely crafted wooden base which is as much part of the overall display as the globe itself: understand that without the time, thought, creativity which went into a base which doesn't detract from the globe, yet only adds elegance, and a 15 inch globe would certainly look "less than" if simply a solution was put under it without thought to the overall appearance.

Another win for the folks at Aurora... Steve, Jerry, and all - keep up the imaginative work!

My globe is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about it. The size and finish are unparalleled at this price! And the customer service is just as good! And I might add I’m a persnickety 60 year old man. This is no toy!

If are looking for a plasma globe, no need to shop further. These are built with care and are beautiful.

This is very unique globe. Reminds me of Aurora Borealis. Piece of northern sky brought down to earth. I often fall asleep to its beautiful green-red discharges peacefully moving around globe. It is much more vivid than on video - Not all can be rendered on 2d computer screen. I have many globes and Aurora's are in separate class above all else on the market anywhere now. It is 2 times the size -4 times a power and 8 times the volume of 8 inch globes I have many off. I was looking for a bargain on those on ebay for long time but nobody ever sells it .I guess people just fell in love with them like I did. Wesss :-)
