What is Travertine used for?
It is used for interior walls such as backsplashes. There are travertine
sinks, floors, mosaic tiles, statuary, fireplace surrounds, tub surrounds, vanities,
and end tables. It's also used for accessories such as light switch plates,
trim, vases, and coasters.
A honed finish is the most popular
type of finish. It's not a shiny and reflective finish. More of a matte or a
sheen finish. Tumbled travertine makes the stone appear
scuffed, weathered , or aged. Talk to your fabricator/installer about the
different types of finishes they may provide.
Creating a unique look with travertine stone is simple. Mix and
match with other natural stones for a more dramatic look and feel. Or, use it
alone for sheer simplicity. This natural stone will give you years of beauty
to enjoy. Using travertine stone is only limited by your imagination and a
little common sense.
About Marble:
Marble is metamorphosed limestone,
composed of fairly pure calcite (a crystalline form of calcium carbonate,
CaCO3). It is extensively used for sculpture, as an building material, and in
many other applications.

Faux marble or faux marbling is a wall painting
technique that imitates the color patterns of real marble (not to be confused
with paper marbling). Marble dust can be combined with cement or synthetic
resins to make reconstituted or cultured marble.
Construction marble:
In the construction trade, the term " marble " is
used for any massive, crystalline calcitic rock (and some non-calcitic rocks)
useful as building stone. For example, Tennessee Marble is really a massive,
highly fossiliferous gray to pink to maroon Ordovician dolostone, known as the
Holston Formation by geologists.
Marble Etymology:
The word "marble" derives from the Greek
marmaros, "shining stone" (OED). This stem is also the basis for the English
word "marmoreal" meaning "marble-like".
What is Limestone?
Limestone is a sedimentary rock
composed of the mineral calcite (calcium carbonate). The primary source of this
calcite is usually marine organisms. These organisms secrete shells that settle
out of the water column and are deposited on ocean floors as pelagic ooze (see
lysocline for information on calcite dissolution). Secondary calcite may also be
deposited by supersaturated meteoric waters (groundwater that precipitates the
material in caves). This produces speleothems such as stalagmites and
stalactites. Limestone makes up approximately 10 percent of the total volume of
all sedimentary rocks.

Pure limestones are white or almost white.
Because of impurities, such as clay, sand, organic remains, iron oxide and other
materials, many limestones exhibit different colors, especially on weathered
surfaces. Limestone may be crystalline, clastic, granular, or dense, depending
on the method of formation. Crystals of calcite, quartz, dolomite or barite may
line small cavities in the rock. Chert or Flint nodules are common in limestone
layers. Bands of limestone emerge from the Earth's surface in often spectacular
rocky outcrops and islands. Examples include the Verdon Gorge in France; Malham
Cove in North Yorkshire, England; and the Ha Long Bay National Park in Vietnam.
Travertine is a banded, compact variety of
limestone formed along streams, particularly where there are waterfalls and
around hot or cold springs. Calcium carbonate is deposited where evaporation of
the water leaves a solution that is supersaturated with chemical constituents of
calcite. Tufa, a porous or cellular variety of travertine, is found near
waterfalls.
