Connemara marble

Connemara marble is a type of green rock that comes from Ireland. It is called marble because it looks very pretty and it is very hard, which means it is good for making things like jewelry or decorations.

Picture a big mountain made of different colored rocks. Some of the rocks are green, and those are the rocks that Connemara marble comes from. These green rocks are made of lots of different minerals that have been squished together over time, kind of like play dough. But because these rocks were squished so much, they became very hard and shiny, like a cool rock that you might find outside.

People have been using Connemara marble for a long, long time because it is so pretty and special. They make all kinds of things out of it, like pretty jewelry, little statues, and even fancy clocks.

So that's basically what Connemara marble is: a special kind of rock from Ireland that is used to make pretty things.
