Connemara Marble Summary

Connemara Marble: Ireland's National Gem by Stephen Walsh

'My family business produces a range of jewellery, gifts and souvenirs crafted from our own Connemara Marble; this is the story of my love for Connemara and of how our uniquely Irish product became so admired and loved in America and around the world.' Stephen Walsh, Connemara Marble

Beneath the beautiful, rugged landscape of Connemara lies Ireland's green marble. For centuries it has been brought to the surface, worked into jewellery and sought after to adorn fine buildings. This is the fascinating story of this iconic stone, and of the people and places it has touched.

About Stephen Walsh

Stephen Walsh has a long association with leprechauns. He is the inventor of the emblematic leprechaun costume seen at many public events. He participated in a record breaking gathering of leprechauns which made the Guinness Book of Records in 2011, and he has run several marathons dressed as a leprechaun. His work with Connemara Marble has connected him to Ireland's landscape, heritage and mythologies - of which leprechauns are a natural part.
