This beautiful marble is famous the world over. Connemara is a district in the west of Ireland, bordered by Killary Harbour, the Maam Valley, Lough Corrib, and the Atlantic ocean. Connemara marble dates to the Precambrian Period over 600 million years ago. Its colors range from white and pale yellow through darker shades of green. The marble is used in jewelry, ornamental objects, religious items (such as rosary beads) and much more. The Steamtown quarry was opened by the Smith family in 1822, and this beautiful marble adorns buildings from the Galway Cathedral to the State Capital Building in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.Amazon Customer Reviews
