Slippery Travertine Stone

I have installed travertine stone outside (front door), and now it's slippery when it rains. What should I do to get rid of or minimize the slippery conditions?
Thanks.

ANSWER
I am more familiar with travertine pavers, which are not slippery. From what I have read, travertine tiles can be polished, and when done so they become slippery.
I found this site for you.

It's worth a try. However, if you have any leftover travertine pieces, I would do a test on those first.

Here is a page on my site where I discuss the different types of travertine, regarding honed, filled, tumbled, etc.

Good luck.
