How Is A Travertine Stone Forms?

Travertine - composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), and therefore, also technically a carbonate rock; travertine forms in caves and around hot springs. When the groundwaters that contain calcium bicarbonate, rich in minerals and hot under hydrostatic pressure exposed to surface through a fracture or reach to a cavity like cave, they lose pressure on them. The dissolved CO2 in these waters is released to the atmosphere--as a shaken can of soda fizzes when opened-- and precipitating solid calcite, thus travertine forms.

Making Natural Stone Business


Most amazing thing about this side is to create your own world and open this world to people who have the same interests with you. I had been tought it's so easy to select stone for use in decorating home, office, buildings, etc. before i had started the natural stone business. But today, i know very well that it's not so easy. Nature is so generous to us, human beings. Kinds of natural stone with different colours and properties seems endless. If you add the different finishes to these ranges you may never decide which stone you want for your project.

Mankind have used natural stone since Ancient times, and still uses. If you have ever seen Ancient places, you have also seen the beauty of towns and cities which built up from natural stone like travertine. Today most of us want to live the atmosphere of nature to relax and stay away from the stress of the day. At this moment as a manufacturer of natural stone there are too many works to do for us. In other words, we bring the nature to you.
