Abstract

[Stone of light yellow color, sometimes laminated and porous, is often found on wall material. The word travertine in general means such kind of limestone material. It was derived from lapis tiburtinus that means stone of Tivoli, an Italian town located 30 km east from Rome. Since Roman times, travertine has been used for popular stone material of buildings (e.g., Colosseum), sculpture, and tombs because the stone is relatively light, massive, and easy for cutting work. The stone material is still actively produced in many countries such as Italy and Slovenia and exported all over the world. Almost everybody has seen the travertine. However, it is much less known what the origin and formational processes are of this particular kind of stone.]
