TRAVERTINE
Travertine is generally filled with cement before it is honed or polished, which produces a uniform surface more like other marbles. Unfilled travertine is quite beautiful, and is often seen as exterior cladding on buildings. Travertines result from hot spring water percolating up through underground limestone. When the water evaporates, it leaves behind layers of dissolved limestone and other minerals, giving it its banded appearance. The characteristic holes in travertine are the result of trapped gas bubbles; as the gas escapes, crystals form in the cavities. Travertines are generally light-colored beiges and tans, though there are some beautiful, colored Travertines that have resulted from other minerals dissolved by hot water underground.

Product categories and classifications such as Granite, Marble, Travertine, Limestone, Quartzite, etc. are based on generally accepted industry acceptance. They do not necessarily reflect the geological composition of the material. In many cases, these materials are technically made of a different geological makeup. For example, many stones are commonly known as granites, but geologically, they are actually Charnockites, Polimitic Mataconglomerates, and any of other various different geological stones. In addition, many stones commonly referred to as marble are geologically limestone. Products shown on MSI's website reflect the industry classification of products and do not necessarily reflect the geological composition. MSI makes no guarantee or representation of the geological composition of any stone. In addition, the category reflected on our website, should not neccesarily be used for customs classification. If the geological composition is important, we suggest getting the product tested by a scientific laboratory.
Buyer/Owner must determine slip resistance suitability and maintainability. Natural stones, ceramic, porcelain, quartz and related products represent products of nature; we cannot be held responsible in any cause of action resulting from their use in any form. M S International, Inc. makes no expressed or implied warranty or merchandisibility or fitness for any particular purpose. These products inherently lack uniformity and are subject to aesthetics, color, shade, finish, tint, hardness, strength resistance, density, etc. Natural stone may be characterized by dry seams, pits, fossils. In polished and honed stones, these areas are often filled at the factory. In rustic or tumbled stones as well as with some honed limestones, these are often filled with grout during installation. In these instances, it may be necessary to refill these voids as part of a normal maintenance procedure. We recommend the use of a sealer for all nautral stone applications. Any samples submitted are with the understanding that these qualities are inherent in the nature of the produce are not to be considered latent defects.
