Aloha and thank you for asking!
That is grey vein cut travertine.
After it arrived, we laid it out in a lineal pattern so that when it was installed on the four walls, it lined up better than just randomly. Some of the grey travertine has tan in it, a lot of tan actually. It is still very pretty but putting a very tan and a very grey tile side by side wasn't as attractive as installing them gradually.
Here are a few in-progress photos:
