Product Description

The green hills of Ireland are called to mind when you hold this beautiful Genuine Connemara Marble Rosary. Handcrafted in Ireland, the unique cubed marble beads showcase Connemara Marble's various shades of green. Connemara means "of the sea" and comes from the Connemara Mountains in the most western parts of Ireland in County Galway. A Celtic crucifix completes the rosary. The rosary is constructed with an extra strong double link chain and measures 25" long.

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, handmade in Dublin from marble cut from a 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.

Nice piece, with some qualifications


By: Shane H. (, March 23, 2018)
Review: This is, indeed, a pretty rosary. The links aren't all uniform and there is some offset to the rosary, though. I returned for this reason.

My Rosary


By: Thomas Maloney (Milan, November 23, 2017)
Review: I have now got the rosary I will use the rest of my life. I did not like the way it came so I purchased a sterling Silver Crusifix and Trinity Knot and had them put into this rosary. Now it is the one I will use forever.

Well Constructed


By: Tom K. Lavelle (Tamassee, SC, September 7, 2017)
Review: Rosary seems intended to be used by a male. It is large, and fortunately I have a jewelry type 4" X 5" felt sack with a drawstring to store it.

Review: I have been buying this rosary for yrs from grandsons and great grandsons for their communion . I put a metal disk with the date of celebration on so they can remember. they are 22, 21,19, 16, 13 and now 7. Perfect for boys and they are Irish.

Just perfect


By: Patricia McCutchen (New port Richey Fl, September 16, 2015)
Review: I am buying this rosary for my great grandson for his communion.I started this years ago for a grandson who is now 24. Also for my grandsons who are 21, 19,16, 13. They have all loved it. I get a metal engraved with their name and date and give it with the rosary. Best idea I ever had--this is perfect for boys.

No longer good marble


By: Cathy (, September 4, 2015)
Review: Bought one of these years ago which is still in great shape. Bought another one - lighter color marble - 2 beads have fallen off.

Quality of newer rosary less good


By: Cathy Sahu (, August 11, 2015)
Review: I have 2 of these rosaries. One is probably 10 years old & is extremely sturdy - I carry it in the pocket of my jeans and it has never lost a bead. The 2nd one I bought 1 1/2 years ago. I gave it to my son who didn't use it but carried it in his luggage. When he gave it back to me, I started using it myself. In a month it has already lost 2 beads. I contacted Cath. Co. but since I had bought the rosary over a year ago, they could not replace. Return yours quicker if it starts losing beads.

Beautiful


By: T Fry (Medford, April 7, 2015)
Review: This Rosary is beautiful! Great gift for anyone.

Bead broke in half.


By: Alan (, December 28, 2014)
Review: One of the beads broke in half.

Unique, Beautiful and Substantial (with two acceptions).


By: Mike in Missouri (Saint Peters, July 9, 2014)
Review: Overall I am happy with my new rosary. Having read the description plus the reviews I knew what to expect. The beads are approx. 1/4 inch, fairly rugged and quite beautiful. The double-linked chain is strong and long. This is a large and substantial rosary for the most part. Which leads me this rosary's only drawback. The crucifix and centerpiece do not fit this rosary. The Crucifix a decent size but is light and thin. The centerpiece is far too small.

My beautiful irish rosary


By: chuck taylor lll (front royal va., April 21, 2014)
Review: I received this rosary as a gift from my son and daughter in law. It is the most beautiful and strongest I have ever owned. I love it to death. My only concern is the crucifix which I think does not give a good compliment to this beautiful rosary. I went on line and finally found a crucifix that will do this. It is 2 inches long solid sterling silver and is of true claddagh design and engraved to my spects. Can't wait to receive it in the mail this week. Thanks, Chuck.

My IRISH Rosary


By: Skip Mathis (Blacksburg, Va, March 27, 2014)
Review: Greetings! I am almost an Irish Catholic, I will be entering the Catholic Church come the Easter Vigil of 2014! I received this wonderful rosary as a gift from a dear friend who has helped me in my studies during my RCIA class formation. I just LOVE IT!! It is heavy and very well made from Ireland. It hangs just above my bed and is easily ready anytime I wish to pray the whole rosary or just a few words of prayer. If you love Ireland or just appreciate good craftsmanship, this is the rosary for you or a loved one.

Very Unique Irish Rosary


By: Carolyn R Clark (Independence, MO, March 25, 2014)

Quality and Unique


By: JJ (Fort Myers, FL, April 10, 2012)
Review: Very nice ... recommend without any reservation. We used it for a daughter-in-law for RCIA (joining the Church); however, would be nice for other reasons like Confirmation. Best Uses: Confirmation, RCIA; Pros: Quality, Unique

Genuine Connemara marble Irish Rosary


By: Eve (tucson, AZ, April 4, 2012)
Review: This is a beautiful rosary, very large and seems durable. The only thing that kept it from being a five star item was the crucifix should be of a heavier metal, seems a bit chincy when compared to the rest of the rosary. The marble however is very uniquely shaped and very beautiful, I cannot wait to give it to my husband this Easter!

Diaappointing


By: Ron (Boca Raton, Fl., March 7, 2012)
Review: I was so excited to receive my new rosary beads so quickly, but disappointed when I opened the package and found that the crucifix and the medal were of very poor quality. The marble beads and the construction of the rosary otherwise was very nice.

Perfect for an Irish man!


By: Jcch00 (St. Charles, MO., March 1, 2012)
Review: I bought this rosary for a male friend & he could not have been happier. I find that purchasing rosaries for men is more complicated so this is a huge compliment. The beads are genuine marble & the celtic crucifix is done beautifully. Very happy w/ my purchase.

Not for Ninnies!


By: Pete the German (Long Island, New York, February 27, 2012)
Review: A beautiful "industrial strength" rosary for ham-handed people like me. I wish that the center medal and the crucifix were more substantial to match the "heft" of the beads, but I am very pleased with it. Note: I doubt the TSA would allow you to bring it on the plane.

Genuine Connemara Marble Irish Rosary


By: Vince (WV, February 7, 2012)
Review: My plan was to carry the rosary in my pocket. I like the look and feel of the marble beads. The rosary appears to be durable, a definite plus. Unfortunately, heavier and larger than I thought. A little disappointed in the make of the crucifix. Pros: Very well made

By: PapaMattK (Laguna Hills, CA, October 11, 2011)
Review: I am a rosary maker and have made over 5,000 rosaries. I highly recommend this rosary for travelers. Very sturdy, good looking and will last you forever.

Beautiful Irish Rosary


By: Charlotte (S. Glastonbury, CT, September 7, 2011)
Review: I love my beautiful Irish rosary. I keep it wrapped around a small, simple statue of Our Lady I bought in Assisi. Therefore, there is always a rosary handy downstairs. I love it's strength. I often break a rosary or the cross comes off and this beautiful Irish rosary is so strong and awesome that it will be safer in my hands. But, in spite of its strength, I find myself treating it ever more gently and as a result the other rosaries as well. What can I say? The Irish rosary inspires prayer and conquers sloth. The rosary is for praying and this rosary is loved as are all the others. Best Uses: Inspires prayer; Pros: Strong, Sturdy

Love it


By: mawmaw (IL, June 23, 2011)
Review: I had a rosary like this one stolen from my car.. I thought I would never be able to replace it. I found this identical rosary on your website. I love the uniqueness of the beads and my Irish heritage brought me closer knowing these are stones quarried in Ireland.. Recommend this rosary!!!!!

somewhat disappointed


By: irish cathlic (chatham, MA, May 15, 2011)
Review: I agree with "almost perfect" assessment of this rosary. The crucifix and centerpiece should be heavier and of equal quality to the beautiful beads and links. I would even be willing to pay a little more for it!

Beautiful


By: Sheila, Grandma (Houston, Texas, April 20, 2011)
