It is formed from calcium carbonate deposits, usually when making contact with the mouth of a hot spring. It is very prominent in Italy, which accounts for why the Romans used it in building the largest amphitheatre of the day. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Being a natural stone, travertine is sometimes called travertine marble, though it really isn&#8217;t a marble. It does have marble-like qualities, however. It can look like marble, and it&#8217;s definitely hard like marble. But it&#8217;s less expensive. Travertine tiles can add a touch of class to any construction in a way that other natural stones can only dream of, which makes it a nice alternative to marble.<\/p>\n<p>The Roman Colosseum was made mostly from travertine, but in its construction the Romans also used cement, bricks, marble, and tile for the floors and walls.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a beautiful natural stone tile for your patio, basement, or interior floor, then travertine is a great option. It&#8217;s a very durable stone, which you can see by visiting the Roman Colosseum. A variety of patterns are available.
