FANTASTICO® Travertine Tile

Fantastico® is a beautiful travertine that offers almost every color of the rainbow. This is a wonderful selection for those who like vibrant color. This is a nice dense material with a lot of movement that can range dramatically in color from piece to piece. Fantastico® is an amazing mixture of golds, reds, browns, yellows and greys with some black veining as well. It is not uncommon to see a lot of onyx present in this material also, which gives this stone incredible beauty and character. Fantastico® is a travertine that is quarried and produced in Turkey.
Travertine is a calcium carbonate sedimentary stone, which is formed around hot springs and through deposition in wet caves, with carbon-dioxide saturated water breaking down calcium carbonate and redepositing it. Travertine usually contains a mixture of minerals from the environment where it formed, along with the calcium carbonate, and it has a very coarse texture with small holes created by air bubbles and living organisms which were trapped in the rock.
Shading and veining of natural stone has a variety of natural characteristics and are like a fingerprint….no two pieces are alike.
