Iraqi Cream Travertine

also known as Mesopotamian Travertine, Baghdad Cream, Al-Haditha Travertine

Iraq sits above one of the world's most extensive Tertiary limestone and travertine belts. The Euphrates valley travertines are a warm cream to ivory material with the characteristic open-cell texture of continental travertines, closely comparable in tone to Persian and Roman travertines. Historically used in Mesopotamian and Islamic architecture; the stone has re-entered international trade through Kurdish regional operations and Iraqi-European trading partnerships. Commercial availability remains limited but growing.
