Natural volcanic stone like you've never seen.

From fire comes finery. Mexican Cantera translates to “quarry”, a stone that has been treasured throughout history. From ancient Aztec structures to the cathedrals of San Miguel de Allende and Mexico City landmarks, this rock can be found in the buildings that matter most throughout the country. Zia's Cantera stone tile features an endless array of earth-toned aggregates in seven covetable shades.

With seven earthy color tones ranging from grey to brown to pink to black, there is a Cantera color for anyone and any project. While consistent in overall tone and shape, each stone tile displays a one-of-a-kind presentation of aggregate, with depth and detail in each individual mark formed over time from nature's strongest forces.

Proper installation and protection of Cantera stone is key, so please ensure you work with an installer who has experience specifically installing and sealing stone tile, and who has carefully reviewed Zia's installation guide so they may best follow each step in the process.

How It's Made 
We have the earth to thank for the abounding beauty of our Cantera stone tile collection. Formed over millions of years from volcanic rock and ash, Zia's Cantera is quarried and cut in Mexico, where the material is found naturally and has been a staple in architecture for thousands of years. As with all natural stone, no two tiles are the same; each exhibits unique aggregate while blending seamlessly with surrounding tiles for totally timeless installations.
