It is used in house apartments, hotels, shopping malls, street view, office buildings, and custom homes over the world, and has stood for centuries in many cathedrals, haciendas and other buildings throughout Latin America. The cantera can absorbs air and humidity without expansion, so it can be used in wet areas. It is often used to create slabs, tables, paving stone, fireplaces, tiles, and so on.

 

The cantera's colour may vary depending on the impurities present in the stone of a particular region. The Cantera notably used in many of the buildings, walls, and roads of Oaxaca, Mexico is a distinct green color. This cantera stone is formed by volcanic ash and dust. The ash is washed into a silt bed and combined with the lava, dirt, and stone on the ground already. This combination makes Cantera a porous and lightweight stone.
