The Cantera stone is a rustic building material proceeding from Mexico and therefore widely used in the remodeling projects for Southern Haciendas and their exteriors. It is porous, lightweight (weighing significantly less than marble and granite), strong, versatile in its applications, and extremely malleable. Being strong and at the same time quite flexible, it makes it a versatile solution for creating ornamented and detailed items such as fountains and fireplaces. Cantera stone products can achieve a real designer value in what is normally perceived as quite boring architectonical elements such as columns. However, Mexican stone cavers know their craft very well and are the only one able to turn a piece of volcanic dust and ashes and some silica into real pieces of art. Just have a look at our Colonial style Cantera stone fireplaces and without a doubt, you will fell in love with ancient-looking carvings and the grandiose feel they are bringing to any room. Most of our natural fireplaces embrace the Spanish heritage of Colonial past, therefore, they are a perfect addition for lush living rooms or even verandas or patios. All of our products are handmade by Mexican artisans and each product is unique and can be further customized. Funny fact- Cantera stone comes in over 130 color variations which include shades of white, pink, grey, green, beige, tan, brown, orange, red, and black. Our company offers Cantera stone products in 9 different hues ranging from classic white to surprisingly pink or black.
