Description
From the highest quality
Connemara Marble this piece was hand carved and polished by skilled
craftspeople. This marble was mined from quarries under the shadow of the 12
Bens Mountains in Connemara in the West of Ireland. Connemara marble was formed
about 700 million years ago from limestone that was transformed under
tremendous pressure and extreme pressure. This metamorphic transformation
causes a complete re-crystallization of the Limestone into interlocking mosaic
of calcite. Thus making every piece of Connemara marble unique, no two pieces
are the same. Because this Green colored marble is found no where else in the
world it is instantly recognizable as a unique Irish marble.
