What is the difference between travertine and marble for flooring?

Travertine vs marble flooring: (1) Porosity - travertine has natural pits, marble denser; (2) Texture - travertine slip-resistant, marble slippery when polished; (3) Hardness - marble harder (3-4 vs 3 Mohs); (4) Maintenance - travertine needs pit filling and frequent sealing; (5) Appearance - travertine warm/earthy, marble elegant/veined; (6) Cost - travertine 30-50% less. PFM recommends travertine for warm spaces, marble for formal settings.
