Antalya is quarried from a bedrock quarry in Denizli, Turkey. The color selection of Antalya will be medium to light in tone. It is also possible to have some grey spots or veins visible in the stone. This travertine is a great option for larger projects, with a large inventory available in Anaheim, Tempe, and Houston. All travertine stones will have natural cavities, or pits, visible in the stone that developed when carbon dioxide bubbles became trapped during the formation of the stone. Prior to honing, this travertine is filled with a colored cement to fill in these cavities. There will be noticeable variations in color and movement between pieces. This particular crosscut travertine will have larger than normal areas of fill in some pieces of tile. Therefore, it is important and recommended that a range of this product be viewed before finalizing a purchase.
Piece to piece variation in shade or color are inherent in all natural stone products; therefore, when installing natural stone tile, it is recommended to mix tiles from several boxes at a time during installation to achieve the best range of color. As natural stone products, it is recommended that these be sealed to extend their longevity.
