It can be said that it is a Stone between Marble and Lime found in abundance near hot springs, especially limestone caves. The large cavities in the texture of this rock, as mentioned, are caused by gases trapped in hot water and make the surface of the rock, not polished and slippery, and a good choice for the floor of places that experience high humidity.
This is exactly the reason why Travertine is used in pool floors. At the same time, these pores, in addition to being functional, have added extra beauty to the stone.
