Product Overview
Travertine is a carbonate rock formed from gushing hot springs. The airy, porous material indicates an abundance of air bubbles moving through the rock as it solidified. While this characteristic is normally reserved for igneous rocks, travertine is unique in that it forms as a result of rapidly dropping pH levels. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification & classification exercises. Useful in lessons on sedimentary petrology and geothermal systems.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Pack of 12. Each set is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
