What is Travertine?

Falling somewhere between marble and limestone for hardness and porosity, travertine is usually characterised by a pitted surface which can be filled or left open.

Iron compounds found in travertine can give this stone a beautiful striated look, with colours ranging from pale cream to walnut brown.
