WE often associate Romblon with marbles: marble mortar and pestle, marble nameplates, and even marble tombstones. Romblon became famous as the best source of marbles in the country ever since the Spanish first extracted marbles from the island in the 16th century. Since then, Romblon marble products have made their way into churches, buildings, and even private homes.
Marble comes primarily from the island of Romblon, one of the three major islands comprising the province of Romblon. These marbles come in varying shades of white, pink, red, green and black. According to estimates, the supply of marble from Romblon Island may last for three more centuries based on current rates of extraction.
