Travertine
Travertine is a sedimentary rock composed of calcite (Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate - CaCO³), it's noticeably softer than limestone and is nearly impossible to keep a shine. Travertine gets a lot of bad press for being a fragile material, but at the same time the 'Trevi Fountain' in Rome is made from Travertine and it's been there for over 300 years.
