Connemara marble is famous as "Ireland's national gemstone" due to its unique, vibrant green color and ancient, exclusive origin in the west of Ireland. It is considered lucky because it is historically known as a "Luck Stone" or "Protective Stone" (An Cloc Cosanta), traditionally used by the Celts to ward off evil and ensure good fortune.
