Yes, if the flooring is level, uncracked, and has no loose pieces. You will need to strip the surface of the slate to ensure no residue remains that would not allow the mortar to bond.

Can you install travertine tile over ceramic tile?

Yes you can but it is a difficult and expensive install. Also you can only do it if there are no loose or cracked tile. However, travertine does not "tile over" well- nor does it last very long when doing so in most environments. Travertine is extremely vulnerable to acids and acidic conditions- should any water collect between the two tile layers & their binder and then become acidic (which stagnant water often does) it will begin to disintegrate and ruin the stone (leaving behind holes, etchings, weak spots and chunks of the epoxy/resin filler). Our advice is to completely avoid "tiling over" existing tile with any of the following: travertine, saturnia, or any other calcium carbonate stone from the limestone family- unless the longevity of the stone is not an issue and/or it is not exposed to water (e.g. a temporary display or an indoor fireplace).
