This elegant set of rosary beads is made from Genuine Connemar Marble which is found only in the Connemara Mountains in the West of Ireland and dates back 900 million years to the pre-Cambrian period. Extra strong double link. Unbreakable chain. Very beautiful. They are second hand and came from the estate of my elderly Aunt. Still looks new, except for the box. The description on the back of the box reads as follows: "The Connemara Marble Rosary. Link of Eternal Beauty. Few things reflect the beauty of creation more strongly than the deep, and varied greens of Connemara Marble, found only in a small corner of Ireland's Atlantic seaboard. These Rosary Beads, hand made in Dublin from marble cut at our own quarry in Co. Galway, are part of a long tradition in Irish Rosary Beads. The first Irish Rosaries were made by monks of the great settlements like Cashel, Clonmacnoise and Glendalough. Using the horns of animals, they fashioned beads of natual beauty and simple strength. Their strength in particular put them much in demand in medieval Europe, w the rosary was a widely observed meditation, and personal link with the Creator. These beads continue that tradition, combining natural beauty with practical strength. Carry them with you, and tranquillity will never be far away...carry them with you, and a friend is always near." By the read more
