What light Roman travertine looks like
A cream background, with light beige and brown tones, carries fine horizontal lines and aligned dark pores, not dense. In the photo those pores show on the surface of the slab. Contrast is low and the banding does not change from one end to the other. Since no slab repeats another, you choose yours by looking at photos of the ones available.

Polished
If ordered with filled pores, polish leaves the surface smooth and shiny.
-
Honed
Matte with no reflection; on a wet bathroom floor or in the shower it slips less than polished.
-
Brushed
Textured surface; with open pores it goes to facades and pool coping.
-
