Kilkenny marble is a dark limestone which has been quarried in Kilkenny for hundreds of years.
It was formed over 350 million years ago when warm seas covered the area which is now Ireland. Small grey inclusions are fossil corals. Kilkenny, a medieval city is known as the marble city because of the marble which has been used to pave it and build its fine buildings such as the castle and cathedral.
