I'm not looking to repair it just wondering why?

I also saw a floor I walked away from... Jerusalem gold limestone, in the kitchen between a very  large island and the countertops, a horse shoe formation. Very bad spalling all around the floor. Front the refrigerator all around to the stove and sink, really bad spalling. But when I lifted up the rug  in front of the refrigerator, oven/stove top and 2 sinks the limestone looked normal, no spalling or damage. 

So I assume the spalling was caused by something from the top. Not moisture from under. 

I was called out by Arizona tile to figure it out because they needed to know if they were liable for faulty product. 

Sometimes stone is like women... It leaves you scratching your head as you throw up your hands?

Any ideas????🤔

Salt impacting, I my opinion repairs are a band aid treatment because it will probably happen again over time. But may give the customer a few years.

I have seen this in travertine floor tile.
Too much water coming up through the floor. There is something in the fill
that reacts with the water and the one I saw looked the mushrooms growing in
in the floor.  I don't think they installed a vapor barrier.
This is a good one for Fred.
