The quality of our products begins at the quarry. We select the boulders only after a careful scrutiny of the area where the stone is going to be extracted. Our professional workers test the stone in order to get the best boulders available.

QUARRIES
In spite of notable homogeneity in its origin, formation, chemical composition and minerals, the subsoil in Yucatan shows marked morphologic differences. For this reason it is possible identify at least 3 main types of limestone.
The calcareous coat is known in Yucatan by the name of “Laja” or “Chaltun”. It is a calcareous rock, located 20 cm underground in extremely hard rock.
"LA SIERRITA"
One of our quarries is located at the top of an area known as “La Sierrita”. It is composed of a calcareous rock which originated in the inferior tertiary which is characterized by the lack of fossil inlays, hardness, crystal and minerals that form it.

In the Ticul Sierrita soils, we can found dark brownish coloration soil, which is known as “Kancab” which means white yellow or brown ground.
Mountain range surroundings
After studying an area about 10 km from our quarry, we found a dense creamy colored stone with darker grain. Because the homogeneity of the stone we decide the Industrial extraction of it and we called it “MACEDONIA”, it is also known as "CREMA MAYA".
Northern coastal border
In this area, just under the surface we find “COQUINA” or “MEXICAN SHELLSTONE”. This is the easiest location from which to extract the stone.
In the same area but about 15 ft. underground it is found “OYSTER”. Because of the fragility of the stone and the closeness of the water that begin at 20 ft, it is complicated the process of extraction but it is well paid thanks to the beauty of the natural fossil inlays that this stone contains.
