A Brazilian commercial 'travertine' whose cavities formed in soil and groundwater processes rather than a hot spring.
Selection & use
Approve the quarry bed, fossil range, pores, finish and application-specific test data.
Floors, walls, fireplaces and protected counters where carbonate behavior is understood.
Clay-rich cavities and fill can govern durability; do not specify it as if it were dense Roman travertine.
Geology & trade names
Pedogenic calcrete over Neoproterozoic limestone—not thermal travertine
