I’d like to buy a small gift, paperweight, trivet, etc. made from Cardiff, MD green marble?
i have the ability to find lots of green marble products however I need a small part from the green marble quarries in Cardiff – Harford County, MD.
It’s for a gift for somebody who is moving away.
A small clock, paperweight, trivet – anything for an office would be ideal but not necessary. Does any know where I would go? I living in Harford County, as result if there’s everywhere local that sells it, I might visit in person.

This is what I found.
Also Amazon has Some Things. Hope this Helps. Serpentine -
A Maryland Beauty
The rock serpentine is found in several shades of green – yellowish, grayish, or dark green.
It has been used for building, but it has never been popular.
The light-green stone houses you see in Baltimore and Harford Counties are probably made of serpentine.
Serpentine is quarried for road building.
The dark green variety is used as a decorative stone. This stone has light veins running through it and polishes beautifully. Slabs of it are used for tabletops or for lining corridors in public buildings.
Known as either “verde antique” or “green marble”, serpentine resembles marble.
But Maryland’s serpentine is not a marble chemically and has little to do with it. True marble comes from a sedimentary rock composed of limey mud or the limey remains of millions of tiny animals or larger shelled creatures. Maryland serpentine was never “alive” in this sense; in fact, it never occurs in a sedimentary form. Probably, our serpentine was originally a dark-colored igneous rock.
Serpentine is found in six Maryland counties: Montgomery, Howard, Carroll, Baltimore, Harford and Cecil.
The best known quarry was at Cardiff in the northern part of our county. This quarry was very deep and produced serpentine that was prized for decorative purposes.

I live near Cardiff, Maryland.
The green marble quarry has been closed since the 60’s.
Sometimes one can find salvaged marble left over from a renovation.
The non-profit called Second Chance, Inc on Warner St in Baltimore has several large wall facings in one of their warehouses but they are pricey. In the trade this is called verde antique.
