Material: Travertine |
||
Travertine is resulting from deposition by springs or rivers. It is often beautifully colored
and banded as a result of the presence of iron compounds or other (e.g.,
organic) impurities. This material is variously known as calc-sinter and
calcareous tufa and (when used for decorative purposes) as onyx marble, Mexican
onyx, and Egyptian or Oriental alabaster. Travertine is generally less
coarse-grained and takes a higher polish than stalactite and stalagmite, which
are similar in chemical composition and origin. |
