Pink Traverten is a rare type of travertine that is obtained from only a few quarries in Turkey and Iran in the world. Due to the unclearness of the water veins of the Turkish Pink Travertine it is produced as cross-cut production which is called as the American cut and it is usually produced with honed or tumbled surface treatment. Pink Travertine is generally produced by raw, polished and aged surface treatment according to the customer's request and has homogenous structure which is being preferred in large space application projects. As an alternative to the a large part of its production exported Turkish Pink Travertine, Iran Pink Travertine blocks are sometimes imported from Iran in order to processed in factories in Turkey. It is also used in the production of various decorative items because of its decorative appearance. It is also used in the production of mosaics, split faces, sinks, columns, fountains, railing, fireplaces, jambs, sconces and garden ornaments. United States and European countries mostly prefer Pink Travertine products as pattern sets for flooring, while other countries prefer cut-to-size materials.
Thanks to the high technology investments made in recent years for the natural stone industry in Turkey, Pink Travertine blocks are imported from Iran for the productions of the wide area projects abroad. The prices of the products produced by Pink Travertine are the same as the other travertine varieties. Low operating costs compared to other natural stone producer countries and high production quality of Turkey put the price / quality ratio of Turkish Pink Travertine ahead of other competitors in the world. Due to the small number of holes on the surface of the Pink Travertine, which is one of the types of travertine that does not require overfilling, gives an advantage with this aspect. The Pink Travertine, one of the known travertine variants in the world, is also known as Flamingo Travertine.
