How much does Travertine Stone cost?
Mexican Travertine roots date back thousands of years. This material is a sedimentary rock that comes from carbonate minerals including Aragonite and Calcite. The stone forms when calcium carbonate is deposited from the water of mineral springs that are saturated with calcium bicarbonate. The spring water from which the carbonate precipitates can be hot, warm or cold. the rate of deposition increases with the temperature of the water or when biotic material accelerates the process of precipitation.
History shows the Romans to be the first who mined Travertine. The largest building in the world is constructed of mostly travertine - the Colosseum in Rome. The rock in its
natural state is porous with pitted cavities. The cavities are due to wear over thousands of years. Travertine floor tiles come in a variety of natural shades from white to brown, yellow hues and coral red. The colors that appear in travertine tiles are actual impurities in the travertine stone.
Not only is Travertine used as a building material, but it is commonly used as a natural stone for paving patios, courtyards and garden paths. Sometimes known as limestone and marble, this natural stone is neither limestone or marble.
Travertine stone flooring can be purchased naturally with the pitted holes, Honed and Filled, or also polished to a smooth, shiny finish. The Travertine tiles are available with different edge surfaces including: Chiseled (sharp square corners/edges), Beveled, and Tumbled (rounded edges and corners).View our Color Pages to see the variety of colors available.
