Towering walls of pure travertine
Quarry yard full of raw blocks of material
These walls are over 20 feet high and are composed of pure Veracruz Stone travertine
Warm sunlight strikes these quarry blocks, the equatorial climate is ideal for high quality travertine
A man gives a sense of scale these massive blocks of travertine
Travertine in its natural setting
The quarry is located in Veracruz, Mexico where the humidity and high calcium content is instrumental in forming our premium raw material. Our Mexican travertine outperforms other travertines in the following ways:
- Denser with less pitting
- Less cracking and crumbling
- Less porous, less likely to stain
- Super durability allows us to produce large format tiles with unique finishes, including vein-cut

New Frontiers
This is a part of the quarry we are very proud of. It is a new face we have opened that has brought us an incredibly dense travertine. It will take 1 year before we can actually start producing blocks from it.
Interesting Images
Incredible assorted quarry photos. Quarries do have a life of their own.
