Cantera Stone a timeless Beauty

We just listed a Tucson Territorial home for sale in the Foothills that has a beautiful Cantera Stone fireplace.

The stone really adds an ambience and timeless beauty to a home, and can add value to your real estate investment.

We also just sold a home where the outside ambience was enhanced by beautiful Cantera Stone pots.

"Cantera" is the Spanish word for quarrying, and the Stone is an naturally quarried product first used by the Spanish Conquistadors to built churches and monasteries in the 16th Century.

You can visit Morelia, Zacatecas, Durango, Guadalajara, Guanajuato and San Luis Potosi, Oaxaca, and San Miguel Allende for fine examples of Canter Stone work.

It can be used many things including fireplaces, pillars, fountains, ballustrades, Entryways, coping and tile, range hoods,  wall fountains and plant pots construction and Art forms. The stone adds a timeless elegance to any new or old Tucson home.

It also comes in many color variations from a very light almost white to a noce brown. Carving the stone has been passed down from generation to generation in Mexico, from the time of the Conquistadors in the 16th Century, and it is considered an art. In Tucson, we have  a local supplier Cantera Custom Creations
