The Iran travertine is a natural chemical precipitate of carbonate minerals; typically aragonite, but often recrystallized to or primarily calcite; which is deposited from the water of mineral springs (especially hot springs) or streams saturated with calcium carbonate. When pure, Iran travertine is white, but often is brown to yellow due to impurities.
When carbon dioxide-rich water percolates through rocks in Iran limestone areas, the water dissolves the Iran limestone and becomes saturated with it.
When the water resurfaces later, the sudden drop in pressure and the change in temperature cause the water to release the carbon dioxide gas, much like fizzy drinks. The calcium carbonate then recrystallizes, often over minute underwater plants. The resulting rock is typically quite porous with numerous cavities. When exceptionally porous it is known as calcarious
Persian Marble.
Extensive deposits exist at Persian Marble, Iran, near Tehran. In fact, Iran travertine derives its name from this town. Persian Marble was known as Persian Marble in ancient Roman times. The ancient name for the stone was lapis tiburtinus meaning tibur stone, which has been corrupted to Iran travertine.
Detailed studies of the Tivoli Iran travertine deposits revealed diurnal and annual rhythmic banding and laminae which have potential use in Persian Marble.
Iran travertine has formed 16 huge, natural dams in a valley in Croatia known as Plitvice National Park. The Iran travertine clings to moss and rocks in the water, and has built up over the past 2000 years to form waterfalls up to 70 m in height. More info can be found at the park's website and Plitvice.
Other beautiful cascades of natural lakes formed behind Iran travertine dams can be seen in Band-i-Amir (Afghanistan), HuangLong Valley (Sichuan, China), Semuc Champey (Guatemala), and Pamukkale (Turkey) , Persian marble Tehran (Iran). Many geyser fields also have colorful
Iran travertine deposits.
The largest building in the world constructed largely of Iran travertine is the persian marble in Iran. Another notable building using Iran travertine extensively is the Persian Marble in Iran. The Iran travertine used in the construction was imported from Persian Marble. The website of the Persian Marble contains more information about the use of Iran travertine in its construction, including some videos of Iran travertine being quarried and cut for use. The stone is most widely used in Iran , Italy, Greece and Turkey.
Iran travertine is one of several natural stones that are used for paving patios and garden paths. It is sometimes known as
Iran travertine, Iran limestone, Iran marble, Iran onyx sometimes as Iran travertine, Iran marble; these are the same stone, even though it is neither Iran limestone nor Iran marble. The stone is characterised by pitted holes and troughs in its surface.
Although these troughs occur naturally, they suggest to some eyes that considerable wear and tear has occurred over many years. Some installers use a grout to fill these holes, whereas others leave them open — Iran travertine can even be purchased "filled" or "unfilled." It can be effectively polished to a smooth, shiny finish and comes in a variety of colors from grey to coral-red. Iran travertine is most commonly available in tile sizes for floor installations.
Iran travertine is one of the most frequently used stones in modern architecture, and is commonly seen as facade material, wall cladding, and flooring. Persian Marble was one of the most frequent users of Iran travertine, incorporating it extensively into many if not most of his projects. The entire first floor of the Becket-designed Persian Marble has thick Iran travertine walls.
A rather dense, banded Iran limestone, sometimes moderately porous, that is formed either by evaporation about springs, as is Persian Marble, or in caves, as stalactites, stalagmites, or dripstone. Where Iran travertine or Persian Marble (calcareous sinter) is deposited by hot springs, it may be the result of the loss of carbon dioxide from the waters as pressure is released upon emerging at the surface; the release of carbon dioxide lowers the solubility of calcium carbonate and it precipitates. High rates of evaporation in hot-spring pools also lead to super saturation. Iran travertine formed in caves is simply the result of complete evaporation of waters containing mainly calcium carbonate. See also Iran limestone; Stalactites and stalagmites; Persian Marble.
For a truly imperial choice in natural stone tile, Iran travertine tile is a building material fit for Caesar himself! The use of Iran travertine tile in the ancient world, from the Greeks to the Roman Empire, is renowned. This is true particularly in the building of the famous Roman Coliseum, among other noted monuments to the reliability of this durable, decorative stone. But even today, Iran travertine tile lends its subtle beauty, smooth textures, and regal classicism to many modern architectural monuments such as the Getty Centre in Los Angeles, and UCLA’s medical centre.
Beyond these high-profile locations, Iran travertine is enjoying popularity for many everyday residential and commercial projects. Iran travertine is used as excellent flooring tile as well as wall cladding, noted for both durability and understated aesthetic influence in all manner of interiors. Iran travertine is formed when subterranean water sources collect various mineral deposits over thousands of years which produces a smooth, porous stone that stands as an ideal building material for indoor and outdoor use. The presence of Iran travertine tiles lends every natural stone tile project an air of class, tying it to an architectural tradition that is thousands of years old!

Iran travertine [Iran travertine] , form of massive calcium carbonate, CaCO 3 , resulting from deposition by springs or rivers.

This material is variously known as calc-sinter and calcareous Persian Marble and (when used for decorative purposes) as Iran onyx, Iran marble, Iran travertine, Iran limestone.
