travertine
Porous building stone
Travertine is a type of limestone formed by mineral deposits from hot springs or caves.
The stone has a distinctive porous, layered appearance with natural pits and troughs.
Prized as a building material since ancient Rome, travertine appears in floors, countertops, and façades: The lobby featured polished travertine floors.
