| Description: | Label name: Connemara. Alternative name: Connemara (dark). Specimen description: Dark green with occasional grey-white veins. Text from: Watson, J. British and foreign marbles and other ornamental stones. Cambridge : University Press, 1916. 82 CONNEMARA (dark). Streamstown Quarries, near Clifden, Co. Galway. This specimen resembles in most features the example last described except that the waved veinings are occasionally grey, which gives the marble a more sombre appearance; nevertheless it is a highly decorative stone. Examples of its use may be seen in the pavement of the new Chapel of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge (1912) ; and in the slender pillars, erected in 1878, for supporting the canopies of the reredos in St John's Church, Waterbeach, a village about five miles northeast of Cambridge. |
