Travertine

Close Up

Roman Travertine is a terrestrial sedimentary rock, specifically a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs in the Tibur region of Italy. Formed through the rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, it is characterized by its distinct pitted surface and fibrous, banded texture. This durable, cream-colored stone has been a foundational material in Western architecture for millennia, featuring prominently in the construction of the Colosseum and St. Peter’s Basilica. Its unique porosity and warm aesthetic continue to make it a favored choice for modern flooring and facades.
