🛡️ Is Polished Travertine Safe? Yes – When It's Natural
There have been rising concerns about radioactivity in stone materials, especially in certain polished surfaces. But these concerns typically apply to artificial marble, not natural polished travertine.
Mr. Wu, an expert in stone materials, explains that artificial marble often contains a mix of crushed granite, cement, gypsum, and unsaturated polyester resin. These materials, especially when poorly sourced, can release harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene, and may also have higher levels of radioactivity — especially if they use:
- Red granite (typically more radioactive than gray)
- Low-quality cement with high ash content
- Gypsum derived from phosphorite, which can contain residual radiation
🧪 How to Identify Authentic Polished Travertine
Fake or misrepresented stones are also in circulation. Some basic or ultrabasic rocks on the market — appearing gray-black, gray-green, jet-black, or green-black — can look like polished travertine but are not. These may have lower radioactivity but can contain microstructures that cause cracking or failure in use.
Mr. Wu suggests a simple authenticity test:
Apply dilute hydrochloric acid to the stone surface:
- If it bubbles strongly, it’s calcite (true travertine)
- If it bubbles slightly, it’s likely dolomite
- If no bubbles appear, it’s a basic or ultrabasic rock, not travertine
