It is a natural stone. It can come from Italy, Spain, and anywhere that limestone, travertine or marble is quarried.
The materials that form it either go to the travertine side or the marble side, depending on how long it has been forming.
There are travertine tiles, slabs and trim pieces. It is generally a very porous material and needs to be sealed.

Its a rather pretty (almost marblelike stone), very durable and used with great frequency and skill by the Roman Empire from centuries back. Mostly comes from Italy.
