MARBLE OF IRELAND
Ireland has historically been divided into four provinces, the origin of these provinces can be traced to the territories of the great Irish families, O�Neill-Ulster,O�Brien-Munster, O�Connor-Connaught and Mac Murraigh-Kavanagh-Leinster.
Each Province also has it�s own distinctive marble, Connemara green marble from West Connaught is probably the best known followed by Kilkenny black from Leinster, the lesser known red marble from Cork-Munster and the white marble from Derry-Ulster have their own character and natural beauty.
Since 1950 �Connemara Marble By Gerard� have specialised in the manufacture of hand-carved souvenirs and jewellery from Connemara marble We now bring you products in all four marbles as a true representation of the entire island of Ireland.
