Travertine deposits are found globally, but the most significant quarries are located in regions with abundant geothermal activity or limestone formations. Some of the most notable sources include:
• Italy: Famous for its high-quality travertine, particularly from Tivoli near Rome, which has been used since ancient Roman times.
• Turkey: One of the largest producers of travertine today, supplying a wide variety of colors and finishes.
• Iran: Known for its richly patterned and vibrantly colored travertine.
• United States: Found in regions such as Yellowstone National Park and Texas, though it is less commonly quarried for large-scale commercial use.
• Peru and Mexico: Known for unique travertine varieties used in local construction.
