Italian Travertine: 2,000 Years of the World's Most Beloved Bathroom Stone

Travertine is arguably the most important building stone in human history. The Roman Colosseum is built from travertine. St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican uses travertine extensively. The Getty Center in Los Angeles is clad in travertine. And for good reason — travertine's warm, organic quality, its characteristic pores and its honey-beige tones create spaces of extraordinary calm and beauty.

What is Travertine? The Geological Story

Travertine forms when hot springs deposit calcium carbonate as they emerge from the earth. The bubbles of carbon dioxide escaping the water create the characteristic pores that give travertine its unique texture. When polished, the pores are filled with resin (honed and filled) to create a smooth surface. When left natural, the pores create travertine's most distinctive and organic look.
