Connemara Marble is one of Ireland's most original products. Geologists estimate this natural green rock, quarried at the Streamstown Marble Quarries two miles north west of Clifden, is about 500 million years old. Unique to the region, the marble shows twisted and interlocking bands of serpentine, in various shades of light green and dark green.

Visitors and group tours are welcome to see the factory and showrooms along the N59 at Moycullen, eight miles west of Galway City. For safety reasons, children are not allowed on the factory floor. The showrooms are open from 9am to 5.30pm daily during summer.
