What is Cantera Stone?Cantera Stone is a natural stone which was originally quarried in Mexico. Hence, the word "cantera" which is Spanish for "quarry". Cantera stone is a sedimentary stone which we quarry throughout Mexico and the United States and then carve into the wares you see on display. Cantera is a strong, malleable natural stone formed by volcanic dust and ash washed into silt beds and combined with lava and local stone where it is compressed and over millions of years turns into cantera stone. Cantera Stone AdvantagesCantera stone actually absorbs air and humidity, without causing the stone to expand or contract in varying weather conditions. This means the stone will not over expand or contract and therefore will NOT crack over time. This also means that skin will not burn on contact with cantera stone, like it does when coming in contact with hot concrete cement and other materials.
