Sterling Silver Connemara Marble Ladies Claddagh Ring With Gift Box - Max Width 9mm, Shank Width 2mm

From the highest quality Connemara Marble this piece was hand carved and polished by skilled craftspeople. This marble was mined from quarries under the shadow of the 12 Bens Mountains in Connemara in the West of Ireland. Connemara marble was formed about 700 million years ago from limestone that was transformed under tremendous pressure and extreme pressure. This metamorphic transformation causes a complete re-crystallization of the Limestone into interlocking mosaic of calcite. Thus making every piece of Connemara marble unique, no two pieces are the same. Because this Green colored marble is found no where else in the world it is instantly recognizable as a unique Irish marble.
