THE HISTORY OF EARTH IN YOUR HOME
Travertine is a limestone that is formed by precipitation of calcium carbonate, deposited around mineral springs. The travertine stone contains cavities and imprints of plant parts, and therefore pitted holes may occur. Each travertine stone is unique, and the colors, pattern, and veining will vary on each product.
The exquisite details in the stone come from the stone’s organic formation influenced by hot springs and limestone caves over thousands of years. Gas and water escape from the surface during its formation, giving travertine intricate patterns, textures, and distinctive characteristics. With its captivating veining, lively texture, and distinctive patina that evolves with every use, travertine brings a touch of timeless elegance to any space.
