Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral rich springs, especially hot springs. Travertine often has a fibrous or concentric banded appearance. It is formed by the rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the margins of a hot spring or in a limestone caves. Here it can give rise to the usual cave features. It tends to be much more dense & compact than it’s porous counterpart, Tufa. Travertine is normal white or buff in colour but can range through to orange & brown. It is extracted & used as a decorative stone e.g. tiles. Pamukkale in Turkey (Unesco World Heritage Site) is a spectacular example of travertine terraces. These particular samples are from Yorkshire, UK. Each specimen is supplied in a labelled card tray.
