Irish Connemara Marble Wishing Stone Pendant and Love Stone

Connemara is a region in county Galway. The word Connemara comes from the Gaelic meaning “Inlets for the Sea”. When you go there you cannot help but be bowled over by it’s awe-inspiring beauty. I think Oscar Wilde described it best when he spoke of the region possessing a “savage beauty”. Connemara Marble is a rare form of marble found in the region. It is typically greenish in color. It is one of the rarest forms of marble in the world. Deposits date back some 600 million years! The marble forms when limestone is heated under pressure.
