Description
Irish string of pearls Connemara Marble luck stone 32″ necklace.
Connemara Marble is a rare form of marble found in Connemara Co. Galway in the West of Ireland and is the perfect gemstone for our luck stone necklace.
• It is a calcite marble which contains large amounts of serpentine. Marble forms when limestone is heated under pressure. While the color is predominantly green there are often shades of grey and brown seen.
• Formed from sediment deposited in a shallow primal sea over 900 million years ago. Striations of rich to pale green within the marble are formed by tiny crystals of green serpentine, diopside, chlorite and rich white calcite with dolomite.
• Connemara Marble has been used for centuries as a medium of exchange. Its beautiful swirling patterns perfectly represent the Irish landscapes where it is found. Our marble is an inspiration for jewelry makers and architects across the world. This is because the patterns are different in each stone which means each piece is entirely unique!
