One of Ireland's national stones, quarried in the rugged Connemara landscape of County Galway since at least the Bronze Age. A serpentinite with vivid green hues and white/grey veining, formed 600 million years ago, it is unlike any other European green stone. Used in luxury interiors, bespoke furniture, fireplace surrounds, and heritage restoration. Supply is limited and every slab has a unique pattern.

Connemara Marble is a true Irish serpentinite formed 600 million years ago: its greens tend to be more muted and organic, mixing grey and white veins, whereas Verde Guatemala is a brighter emerald green with finer patterning. Both are luxury green stones but have distinct geological origins and aesthetics.
Supply is limited and slabs tend to be smaller than mainstream Italian marble. Most Connemara pieces are used for tiles, tabletops, fireplace surrounds, and architectural accents rather than full-wall coverage. Confirm slab size availability with your supplier before specifying.
