- 34.95 MPa
- Stone texture:
- characterized by a warm and earthy color palette dominated by beige, tan, and brown tones, often enriched with subtle variations of golden, reddish, or soft amber hues that create a natural “autumn” appearance. Its overall look is soft and inviting, with moderate shade variation that enhances depth while maintaining visual harmony. Structurally, it exhibits the typical porous nature of travertine, featuring small pits, voids, and linear cavities formed during sedimentary deposition, which may be filled or left open depending on the finish. The texture is naturally uneven and can range from slightly rough to smooth depending on processing, while the pattern varies from cloudy and mottled (cross-cut) to more linear and banded (vein-cut), giving the stone a dynamic yet organic aesthetic suitable for both rustic and refined architectural applications.
