Unique to western Ireland, Connemara marble has existed for millions of years. Rare and resilient, it perfectly captures the landscape's "forty shades of green". Gradient in color from light to dark, Connemara marble can be found in some of the world's greatest attractions, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum and Kensington Palace.
For three generations, the Walsh family in Dublin has crafted and finished fine Connemara marble treasures in their workshop. They have a quarry in Lissoughter, which opened in the 19th century. In 1903, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra paid a visit during the Royal Tour of Connemara.
