Black Travertine is a fragile material and should be manufactured carefully. It is an also porous material with naturally-occurring holes that may remain unfilled or be factory-filled with resin or cement. Do not use resin-filled materials outside, as the resin will discolor over time. The color of Black Travertine could be different when polished different times.
