Travertine Hot Springs: Formation, Location and Travertine Extraction
What is Travertine? Travertine’s name is derived from Tibur which was the former name of Tivoli. The stone was originally named lapis tiburtinus which means tibur stone and was later changed to travertino from where we got today’s travertine. Travertine is a unique type of limestone deposited by mineral springs such as hot springs.
