travertine
Travertine is characterized by the small open holes in the surface. Travertine and marble are in close family, but marble is smoother on the surface.
The key difference is that marble is formed when limestone comes under high pressure and temperatures, whereas travertine is formed in hot springs and limestone caves. The holes are created by the expulsion of hot water and gases during formation.
