| Description: |
| Travertine is a variety of limestone that is created when heated aquifer waters rise to the surface and leave layers of mineral granules. Over time, these deposits cool and crystallize into travertine. To see how inspiring its beauty can be, cast your eyes toward the Roman Coliseum or St. Peter's Basilica. Both of these famed structures are constructed out of travertine. In the home, it invokes both awe and comfort. |
