Soraya Red Travertine
Soraya Red or Red Travertine is one of the most famous and most wanted Travertines from Iran. Soraya is a Persian name meaning constellation and name of one of the stars.
Naming this Soraya Red Travertine by this name has taken place to emphasize on its bright dazzling Fantastic red color.
Travertine is a form of terrestrial limestone deposited around mineral springs, especially hot springs. It often has a fibrous or concentric appearance and exists in white, tan, cream-colored, and even rusty varieties.
It is formed by a process of rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the mouth of a hot spring or in a limestone cave. In the latter, it can form stalactites, stalagmites, and other speleothems. It is frequently used in Italy and elsewhere as a building material. Similar (but softer and extremely porous) deposits formed from ambient-temperature water are known as tufa.
