More Information

Travertines are sedimentary rocks and consist almost exclusively of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). As soft rocks, they are clearly layered (often with varying degrees of coloration), solid and polishable rocks that show banding when cut in the direction of bedding. Limestone tuffs are similar to travertine, but do not show this layering. 

The more or less porous limestone was chemically precipitated from (mainly cold) freshwater springs near older marble or limestone deposits (carbonate) as spring lime. Younger travertine formations occur in areas with volcanism or post-volcanic emission of carbon dioxide, especially those with high-temperature waters, such as in Turkey (Pamukkale).
