Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, cream-colored, and even rusty varieties. A travertine terrace is formed when geothermally heated alkaline waters emerge to the surface and form waterfalls of precipitated carbonates.
