What is Travertine?

Travertine (Zuni stone, Zuni stone) - A non-crystalline, porous rock found on the Zuni reservation. Travertine is a form of limestone (calcium carbonate) that occurs near hot mineral springs. Travertine is white in its pure form, but most often has yellow, brown and gray hues due to the presence of other minerals. The late Zuni carver Leekya Deyuse was especially noted for carving with this stone and his descendents continue to use travertine in their carvings today. Read about stones
