| Tennessee Marble | Tennessee USA | “Tennessee marble is often said to be taken from boulders and that it is not found in solid beds. This impression is a natural one from the outcroppings as well as from the boulder-like knobs left by the rushing waters of past ages. The deposit, however, is very thick and far from being a boulder proposition. All of the Tennessee quarries are tilted and the overburden of debris increases with the depth of the quarry, hence many of the old quarries were abandoned after the outcropping knobs were removed. The quarries of operating companies of which we have a record are as follows: Blount County: J. J. Craig Company, Light Pink Marble Co., Tennessee Producers Marble Co., Knox County: Cedar Bluff Marble Co., consolidated Marble Co., Gray Knox Marble Co., Thrasher Marble Co., Gray Eagle Marble Co., Holston Marble Co., Knoxville Marble Co., Ross Republic Marble Co., Tennessee Producers Marble Co., Union County marble Co.” The marbles of Tennessee can be roughly classified in six more or less distinct groups:No. 1. The creams or monotones. See American Tavernelle, Arancio, Golden Vein Tavernelle Pink, Ross Golden Vein Gray, Ross Tavernelle Gray, Rouge Gray. No. 2. Dark Chocolate.

| Travertine | Italy | Stone Magazine, Vol. XLV, No. 10, Oct., 1924 (“(Travertine) is a stone formed by calcareous deposits precipitated from running water. It is of a creamy color, of a very cellular texture, and so soft that it is easily cut by a saw, but hardens on exposure. Travertine was one of the most widely used stones of Ancient Rome, the Colosseum and many other famous structures being built of it. Large quantities of Italian Travertine have been brought to America for structural work and interior finish. The word ‘travertino’ is an altered form of the old Roman Lapis tiburtino, ‘stone from Tibur,’ the ancient name of Tivoli. For the American varieties of this stone, see Biesanz’s American Travertine and Tracon.”) | |
