Travertinum est genus calcis a fontibus mineralibus depositae, praecipue fontibus calidis. Travertino saepe est aspectus fibrosus velconcentricus et in varietatibus albis, fuscis, et cremeis exstat. Nascitur ex rapida carbonatis calcii praecipitatione, saepe in oribus fontium calidorum vel in cavernis calcareis. Quo decursu stalactites, stalagmites, et alia speleothemata gignere potest. Saepe in Italia et alibi ut materia aedificationis usurpatur

Travertine is a type of natural stone, such as marble, limestone and granite.
Travertine is a natural stone which belongs to the larger family of stone called limestone, which is also known as calcium carbonate.
Travertine is a type of limestone that has had additional heat and pressure applied to it by the earth’s crust. It is formed by minerals dissolved in ground water, which are then deposited on the earth’s surface by rivers, natural springs, or geysers.

Colours of Travertine
Travertine comes in many different natural colors including beige, brown, gray, and gold. There may also be slight undertones of green, red, and rust, depending on the origin of the stone and the minerals inherent in the specific selection. The color of travertine is the result of iron compounds and other organic impurities.
The color of travertine depends on the purity of the mineral water that forms the stone.
When pure, travertine is white, but often is brown to yellow due to impurities. When carbon dioxide-rich water percolates through rocks in limestone areas, the water dissolves the limestone and becomes saturated with it.
Mazzmar Stone provides a colour range of Travertine from White to Black, including, Ivory, Beige, Light, Wallnut, Noche, Scabas, Silver and yes, even Black Travertine, when needed for special projects.
