The Travertine Vessel Sink
 Travertine
is a crystalline form of calcite that occurs in massive
form. The material is most often found around the rims
of hot springs and streams because it develops through
the separation of calcium carbonate from water via the
process of evaporation.
Typically banded, travertine is generally quite beautiful
in appearance, exhibiting a variety of colors depending
upon the impurities it contains. The material, which is
also easy to cut and highly polishable, therefore, is
often utilized as an ornamental stone. Travertine is also
often utilized in combination with other types of marble,
further increasing the magnificence of many decorative
objects it is commonly utilized to construct.
