Hand-carved from green Connemara marble, the three-leaf clover hides a stanhope in its center: a tiny magnifying lens with a microphotograph mounted behind it. Put it to your eye and a captioned view of a Waterford cathedral appears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanhopes were the travel souvenir of the late 1800s and early 1900s, built into charms, pens, and needle cases so visitors could carry a picture of the place they'd been. This one pairs the idea with Connemara marble, the swirling green serpentine quarried in the west of Ireland. Each leaf has a carved center vein, and a drilled hole at the top leaf lets it hang from a jump ring or bail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnemara marble with a stanhope lens. In good antique condition. The marble shows small surface pits and tool marks consistent with hand carving and age, and the stanhope image is clear and readable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GOTTROCKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67998740349234,"sku":null,"price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/0595\/5890\/files\/IMG_7878.jpg?v=1792455295","url":"https:\/\/ladygotrocks.com\/products\/antique-stanhope-connemara-marble-shamrock-charm-souvenir-of-waterford-ireland-with-a-secret-cathedral-inside","provider":"GOTROCKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
