GUEST,Annraoi | CarrickfergusMeaning:marble stones as black as ink (96* d) | RE: Help: Meaning: 'marble stones as black as ink | 12 Feb 01 |
I was always mystified about black marble until I spent a week in Kilkenny some four years ago. I took the usual tourist tour round the city - I'm no snob, it was my first visit - and the information was volunteered that, after some exposure to the weather, Kilkenny limestone turns black, hence the reference. |
