Travertine is a type of natural stone and formed around hot water springs. In general there are 2 measures that industry take into consideration while grading travertine. These are variation and density.
Our Philadelphia Antique Pattern travertine gets 5 out of 5 for variation that is high variation and for density it gets 4 out of 5 that is good density.

• Variation: 5/5
• Density : 4/5

Variation is up to your taste but for density in general denser is better for longevity, stain resistance and the wear-tear resistance. However softer and more porous stones will require more maintenance. As you might know porous stones absorption rate will be higher and they will stain more. On the other hand, you can prevent this by using a heavy duty sealer.
