Robustness
and strenght
The capacity to support load turns it a trustworthy structural element that guarantees the long life of buildings.
As demonstrated in the constructions with more than 800 years were firmness, beauty and original carving are conserved.
Laboratory test confirms a compression of breakage of 116 Kg/Cm2.
Its great hardness allows any type of trepanation, fits or pierced.

Its
impermeability and insulating power
One of its more important characteristics, given its porosity at an optimal rate of 32%.
The impermeability of the stone is demonstrated submerging the stone in water for 1 or 2 days and verifying the little amount of water that absorbs and
the speed which the water is expelled.
Its soft when newly quarried and as hard as marble whe dry.

Facility
of cut and carves
Quality more than proven in this sandstone, which gave rise to an architectonic style, "the Plateresco", based on the ornamentation and the filigree.
Thanks to this quality it is very
easy to work with in construction, making the job easy and simple.
It is extremely easy to cut, shape, file and finish using the very basic of tools.

Its
color
Although we have enumerated very important qualities.
giving
to the facades a unique tonality.
Also the stone throughout the years gets oxidized and shows an even better the splendor conferred by its quartz grains, gold sediments, and limestone cement which makes it shine, with a golden tonality.
In the first pictures we show several examples of the light that reflects over the stone during different daytimes.
We do believe that our stone shows its entire splendor at the end of the day, a shinning light show.
