I do not believe it is efflorescence as it is only on the shower and evidence of streaking. Not crusty at all. They tested the water for harmful minerals, this is very rural and they added a water softener.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Happy May 1st to all:<br><br>I have looked through my books and cannot find the name of the brown stone in the pic.  I thought maybe Pietra Dorata from the MIA book but it is obviously darker. I am doing a proposal on Tues so help would be appreciated. The floor is over 100 years old.<br>


<br>Another issue is white lines from water on a travertine shower in the mountains of Colorado. Did it 5 years ago and they want me back. Spoke with client about water softener, etc. but she indicated her water had been tested and nothing problematic found. It is quite visible. I know this has been addressed before but I cannot find anything on it. <br>
