Travertine is a dense mineral consisting of a massive usually layered calcite (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) formed by deposition from spring waters or especially from hot springs. It is often beautifully colored and banded as a result of the presence of iron compounds or other impurities. Extensive deposits exist at Tivoli, near Rome. Travertine is one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture, and is commonly seen as façade material, wall cladding, and flooring.

Travertine is a sedimentary rock that originated as a limestone (calcium carbonate) that changed overtime due to extreme heat and pressure from the earth’s core. Holes and voids were created through out the stone layers when pressurized hot water and steam were forced through the rock during formation and the cooling process.
