Travertine (in Italian: travertino) is a porous limestone rock (composed of calcite, magnesian calcite and aragonite weak), which has a yellow to brown colour.

This rock is being built at the mouth of bicarbonate hot springs coming out of limestone or cross-rich rocks carbonates, calcium carbonate ions as carbon dioxide.

Travertine is present in two structural varieties: [1]

* Compact travertine. They are dense and thick layered in jars (20-40m) and layered in thin Lamine, millimeter, are white, yellowish-white, brown, alternating throughout the crust. It is assumed that the stratification is due to seasonal deposit, meaning that summer bands were made thicker and paler and thinner in winter and dark stripes. These travertines are also known as the onyx and marble onyx cave.
* Spongy porous travertine (limestone and tuffs called “bush”). They are white and light and were formed by depositing biochemical activity caused by aquatic organisms (in particular blue algae), which retained CO2 through photosynthesis and caused precipitation of carbonates.

Generally travertine is porous. If closed pores with cement powder by grinding and polishing travertine becomes a surface as smooth as marble.

Travertine is used as building stone, to plate the facades, internal walls and floors or kitchen or bathroom countertop.
