Armenian travertine
01 ORIGIN
Where the stone comes from
Our own stone: a warm, light tone and a porous surface that light settles into instead of bouncing off.
OUR OWN QUARRY
Quarried at Petro Stone’s own quarry at the Ararat deposit, and taken the whole way from the face to the finished piece in one pair of hands.

How it is built
A calcareous tufa: a sedimentary rock built from calcite laid down by spring water. Hence the porous structure and the bedding — the pattern of the stone depends on the direction of the cut.
CHARACTER
-
A warm range
A warm, light tone — the character of travertine from the Ararat deposit.
-
A living surface
A porous surface, alive in texture: light settles into the stone instead of bouncing off it.
-
Our own quarry
Selection starts at the face: colour and structure are judged before the first cut.
