Hello! Yes this looks like subway style travertine. The other by the stove called split faced stone tile. I have travertine backsplash and floors. Have to seal it before and after grouting. The regular travertine is easy to clean with the sealer on. Use a stain resistant grout. I was considering the split face also in my kitchen, but we really like to cook home made spagetti sauce :D
Probably the split face would of not stayed so pretty very long. :D
The split face tile will not need grouting. I would still seal it once or twice.
Hope this helps.

Yes, especially the remark about the spaghetti sauce :0).

Oakley Home Builders is currently working on an iPad app that will address all of these questions! Continue to look for it in the future!

what is the backsplash name/color?
