Atashkooh Travertine

Atashkooh Travertine Stone is undoubtedly one of the finest and most beautiful light-colored stones used for luxury building facades. Thanks to its relatively white background, which makes it the lightest type of travertine, as well as its excellent polishability, this travertine quarry has attracted many admirers. The light color of the stone’s natural texture ensures that even its more affordable grades, such as sort B and sort C, retain their distinctive beauty—a characteristic of high-end stones such as Atashkooh and Abbas Abad Travertine. The Atashkooh stone quarry is located in Markazi Province, 23 kilometers southeast of Mahallat. It is operated by Faravar Emad Mining Company. According to industry professionals, the quarry is nearing depletion, making Atashkooh Travertine increasingly difficult for buyers to source. Therefore, due to its high demand, limited supply, and inherently superior quality, this white building stone is more expensive than other building facade stones.

Atashkooh Travertine can be used on exterior building facades with complete confidence, as it offers excellent resistance to surface erosion, efflorescence, breakage, staining, and discoloration. It can maintain its appearance for many years without requiring restoration or cleaning. This stone is even used for floors; however, given its high price, such an application is currently not economically justifiable.
