Irish Marble Gifts
Irish marble gifts are something to consider when shopping for a Celtic gift for friends or family. There are numerous products made from marble that come from Ireland. The most well known Irish marble is of course Connemara, because of its stunning green color.
Connemara Marble comes from quarries at Lissoughter in the Connemara Mountains, in Western Ireland. Since the mid 1800’s the quarries have been used, primarily by the Joyce families. It is a beautiful green marble that comes out of the quarry. The marble is such a prize that it is used in many outside monuments, as well as pieces of jewelry, statues and rosary beads. One of the first exports from Ireland was a green marble spearhead around 2000 years ago. Ever since then this green stone has been prized. This marble is one of the rarest in the world.
