Silver Travertine: A Complete Guide for Buyers and Builders

Silver Travertine  is a popular natural stone known for its soft gray shades and delicate white veining. It is valued for its durability, weather resistance, and attractive appearance in modern architecture.

This stone is quarried in six main countries: Iran, Turkey, Italy, Mexico, Kyrgyzstan, and Spain. Among them, Iran is recognized for its rich sources in regions such as Kashan, Takab, and Azarshahr, offering diverse patterns and high-quality blocks.

Iranian Silver Travertine is exported to countries like Qatar, UAE, Iraq, Turkey, Spain, and Indonesia, where it is used for facades, flooring, and interior design. Its consistent quality and elegant look have made it a preferred material in both residential and commercial projects worldwide.

What Is Travertine?

Travertine is a natural limestone that forms around hot springs. It is a porous stone, meaning it contains small holes formed by carbon dioxide bubbles. These holes are part of what gives travertine its look and structure. Travertine comes in many colors—cream, beige, red, brown, yellow, and silver.

Silver Travertine is unique due to its gray shades, often with white or golden streaks.

Why Is Silver Travertine Popular?

Silver Travertine is popular because it gives buildings a clean and natural appearance. It matches well with other stones and construction materials. It also performs well in outdoor conditions like sun, rain, or cold weather. The surface is cool to the touch, making it ideal for outdoor use in warm climates.

The version known as Silver Takab Travertine, available at Negin Sang Karimi (Karimi Stone), is especially known for its strong, dense structure and its perfect color range—from smoky gray to golden brown with white veins. It is often used in luxury home designs and commercial projects.

Common Types of Silver Travertine
