MARBLE
Marble is created from limestone. It is characteristically soft and a metamorphic stone that can be polished. Homeowners must take special care of their marble, because it can be easily stained and etched by acidic compounds. There are many different forms of marble across the globe, and that is one of the reasons it has remained so popular throughout the years.

TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a crystallized, partially metamorphosed limestone, which because of its structure, can be filled and honed.
Travertine is a member of the limestone family, and shares some similar characteristics to limestone such as being soft and porous. When Travertine is formed it has many small cavities and holes, which can either be filled in with resin/cement, or left unfilled for a textured surface.
Travertine is a popular choice for flooring in homes and kitchen/bathroom countertops.
LIMESTONE
Limestone is another sedimentary stone,and is formed from calcite and sediment and comes in many earthen colors. Limestone is created by the mixing of organic materials such as shells and coral that gives it a different, natural
