travertine (sinter, <limestone by composition: aggregate type>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: A dense, crystalline or microcrystalline limestone that was formed by the evaporation of river or spring waters. It is named after Tivoli, Italy ("Tibur" in Latin), where large deposits occur, and it is characterized by a light color and the ability to take a good polish. It is typically banded, due to the presence of iron compounds or other organic impurities. It is often used for walls and interior decorations in public buildings. It is distinguished from "tufa" by being harder and stronger.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Een dichte, kristallijnige of microkristallijnige kalksteen die werd gevormd door de verdamping van rivier- of bronwater. Het is vernoemd naar het Italiaanse Tivoli, waar het in grote mate voorkomt en het wordt gekenmerkt door de lichte kleur en de mogelijkheid om het snel te laten glanzen. Meestal bevat het dwarsstrepen omdat het ijzersamenstellingen of andere organische onzuiverheden bevat. Het wordt vaak gebruikt voor muren en binnendecoraties van openbare gebouwen. Te onderscheiden van 'sedimentgesteente', dat harder en sterker is. |
| Spanish ..... Caliza densa, cristalina o microcristalina que se forma por la evaporación de aguas de río o vertientes. Su nombre proviene de Tívoli, Italia, donde se formaron grandes depósitos, y se caracteriza por su color claro y su capacidad para alcanzar un acabado pulido. Tiene típicamente bandas por la presencia de compuestos de hierro u otras impurezas orgánicas. Se utiliza a menudo en murallas y decoración interior de edificios públicos. Se distingue de la "tufa" por ser más dura y más resistente. |
