Isle of Skye Marble Pendant | Scottish Gift | 8mm Round Stones | Sterling Silver

Our smallest Isle of Skye marble pendant: a genuine 8mm round stone, framed in .925 sterling silver and supplied with a free 18" sterling silver chain. Choose pale green, green and white, or olive green.

Where the Green Comes From

Skye marble is usually white to grey, and its green tones come from serpentine, a mineral formed during the metamorphism that turned ancient limestone into marble. The rock was laid down as Durness Group limestone roughly 500 million years ago, then transformed near Torrin, on Skye's southern coast, around 54 million years ago. Marble is a metamorphic rock, one changed by heat rather than simply laid down, and every stone is patterned differently.

Skye Marble is predominantly white, grey and black, with some green and yellow tones, and occasional hints of gold, blue and orange making fascinating markings and striations.

Marble from the Isle of Skye is a rare and beautiful type of metamorphic rock. It is primarily composed of limestone that has undergone metamorphism, often incorporating striking veins of white, green or blue hues due to mineral impurities such as serpentine. This gives it a distinctive appearance similar to Italian marble.

It has a number of uses, including as a decorative building material in churches and historic buildings, and in jewellery. It was used to build Armadale Castle in Skye and Iona Abbey, on the nearby island of Iona.

Isle of Skye Marble is not widely quarried today, but some small-scale extraction has taken place over the centuries.
