Cantera Stone

Discover the timeless elegance of Mexican Cantera stone — a volcanic stone that has been the cornerstone of Mexico’s finest architecture for over five centuries. Sourced and hand carved by master stonemasons in central and southern Mexico where the stone is quarried, our Cantera embodies a tradition of craftsmanship and natural beauty unmatched by any manufactured material.

Our Cantera collection includes precision-cut tiles, rustic pavers, hand carved chair rails, and decorative moldings, all imported directly from Mexican quarries. Available in five natural colorways — Negro (black), Piñon Blanco (creamy white), Naranja (warm orange), Tobacco (rich brown), and Café (deep coffee) — in both 12-inch and 16-inch formats.

Cantera stone performs beautifully in both interior and exterior applications. Its natural thermal properties keep surfaces cool in hot climates, making it ideal for Arizona patios, pool surrounds, and outdoor living spaces. Indoors, Cantera tile and moldings add a warm, organic sophistication to fireplaces, entryways, and accent walls.

Please note due to the size and weight of these tiles, all orders will be shipped via freight. We try to offer a selection of freight shipping prices at checkout, however you are more than welcome to contact us directly to see if we can find a better rate for you.
