Nice.

The actual hardware might need a bit more of work (realistic ior in
glass ?, a softer plan colour ?, some actual key & lock system to be
able to open the display table ?)

More important, your spheres should rest on some torus. Classical torus
are in light wood, but for the exhibition, you might use torus made of
the same stone. (personal ...: I would replace the sphere with ovus, as
egg shapped stone are more "natural" than perfect sphere out of the
polishing barrel). you might also use a bit of variation on the second
factor of the ovus.

A bit of math should provide the relevant parameters for the torus to
sit a sphere or egg (approximated as a sphere for it's bottom part as
long as the second factor of ovus is less than half the first one).
