Natural travertine stone has a unique composition which is due to water rich in carbon dioxide going through the rocks. The water creates cavities, which give travertine its special characteristics and make it so different then the other natural stones.
Travertine was used in large quantities for the Colosseum, which dates back to 80 AD, Roman baths and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris. This shows that travertine has long been recognised as a quality building material and has stood the test of time.
