Glam travertine comes from Italy and is a brown/grey travertine. Its
texture typically shows swirled veins coming in all shades of brown,
beige and grey from very dark to light tones. It shows frequently very
narrow veins ranging from white to yellow due to natural iron inclu-
sions. The stripes /veins can extend from end to end of the table
or blend throughout giving the appearance of ocean waves. In its
natural form has “holes”, “pores” and “fissures” that are filled and
sealed with transparent resins, colored fillers and/or small pieces of
the same material before polishing. Consequently the surface is not
regular due to the presence of residual micro-holes/pores that deter-
mine the natural characteristic of the travertine itself.

The onyx travertine
The Tivoli Silver travertine comes from Italy and is a light beige traver-
tine. Its texture typically shows a “cloudy” morphology with light and
darker areas of the same background color tone. It shows frequently
very small white or grey patches due to natural fossil shells or iron
inclusions. In its natural form has “holes”, “pores” and “fissures” that
are filled and sealed with transparent resins and small metal silver
foils blended with reflective crystals that produce the sparkling effect
of a precious stone. Consequently the surface is not regular due to
the presence of residual micro-holes/pores that determine the natural
characteristic of the travertine itself.
