Ocean Blue Vein Cut Roman Travertine

Ocean Blue vein cut travertine recalls the colors of the sea and the earth. Characterised by an uneven color, yet homogeneously calm in the various shades of blue, cream and beige. For its fascinating tones it represents an element of the highest value.

Like waves breaking on the shore, Ocean Blue recalls the colors of the four natural elements. Clearly this trim is characterized by an uneven pattern: on a cream and beige background stand out streaks of blue. By looking closer, many are the shades one can count. As a vein cut, its peculiarity lies in the pronounced streaks, the chromatic effect of natural veining with millenial history. This is its innate beauty: the unevennes capable of donating character to the setting where it is displayed. For its fascinating tones it represents an exclusive natural stone.

Thanks to its resistance and compactness Ocean Blue vein cut travertine is perfect for indoor and outdoor architectural applications, such as cladding and paving. Moreover, Ocean Blue is incredibly versatile and gives its best when used as decorating element in mosaics or design objects, like tables and countertops. With this particular trim we are paying homage to the water as a natural element. Water in fact is fundamental to the creation of travertine natural stone: without mineral water springs the process of sedimentation would not take place, and we could not revel in its presence.

Our travertines are extracted from the Barco Quarry, the most ancient quarry of Roman Travertine: the same that provided Romans with the construction material for their worldwide appreciated monuments.
