Healing Properties
Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral springs, especially hot springs. The healing temples of the God Asclepius in ancient Crete and Greece were some of the most famous medical treatment centers ever built in the old world. Before people were admitted, they would then be taken to special limestone mineral springs hot baths to not only to clean themselves, but purify their bodies by the special healing water in these springs called today, 'Travertine'. Limestone is the root of many crystals including, agate, calcite, dolomite, lapis and septarian, just to name a few. Therefore, it takes on the metaphysical properties of its additional minerals. Limestone is said to be an assisting stone used to enhance healing properties, encourages purification, reminds us of our innocence, grounds and centers us and entices positive thoughts.
