Travertine is a mineral formation that, according to the classification, occupies an intermediate place between marble and limestone formations. From the latter, the stone inherited durability and strength. At the same time, the mineral can be easily processed like limestone. But compared to marble, the cost of mining and transporting travertine is much cheaper. Travertine mineral This intermediate link between rocks can be described as "immature, not mature marble." Visually, the stone is similar to limestone rocks. The mesh structure of the rock, dotted with microholes and tiny cracks, does not allow using it as a material for creating monolithic monuments and sculptures. A peculiar pattern is visible on the cuts, which emphasizes the individuality of the natural material. The density of the rock has a direct influence on the shades. If the travertine is light in color (beige, nutty), then the density is low. If the color is saturated (dark red, burgundy, brown), then the breed is dense.
