Did you take that photo recently? When did you go by there? If so, I would say the neodymium magnets are oxidizing faster than I expected. I thought the epoxy coating would keep the air out better. I wonder if they still hold their magnetic properties? Did you try sticking any ferromagnetic object to them?
Those magnets aren't structural, they are a surface decoration. It's pinned together from the bottom where the uprights are, which is protected from the elements more.
I kind of expect the stones to eventually be cannibalized and individual parts taken as souvenirs. That stone globe particularly is a one of a kind thing, that was tough to have engraved. The dodecahedron and tetrahedron also were tough because of the non-square angles.
