The description on the back of the Connemara rosary box reads:

'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 natural beauty and simple strength. Their strength in particular put them much in demand in medieval Europe, where 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 tranquility will never be far away... carry them with you and a friend is always near.'
