Travertine is a form of limestone that has been infiltrated by water. Over time the precipitation of calcium carbonate results in a stone that is full of small fissures, odd-sized holes and variations in color due to the variety of contaminants that are present. The ancient Romans used travertine in their buildings and sculptures, and even today many of the architectural monuments in Italy are well-preserved even after 2,000 years. The famous Colosseum is constructed mainly of travertine. More recently, the tumbling process has been used to give a worn, authentic look to the tiles, a process that involves putting the tiles into a drum chamber along with rocks and grinding the travertine, creating a product where the fissures are more visible and the edges are chipped or cracked.

Many people love the features of tumbled travertine. Along with its rustic appearance, the many color variations allow for custom-designed walkways, interior and exterior floor surfaces, and even as a wall paneling. From the very lightest colored crema milk hue to the darker noche shade, there is a shade of tumbled travertine that is sure to complement the surroundings, whether it be the living room, outdoor conservatory, garden walkway or a lobby facade in a commercial structure. Although it is pitted with holes and inclusions, it remains strong, will not crack in cold weather and is extremely fade resistant. When properly sealed, travertine becomes impervious to water penetration.
