Piedra Sánchez — Volcanic Stone in Costa Rica

Piedra Sánchez is a volcanic stone and the second most humidity-resistant natural stone in the range.

Sánchez performs best on vertical surfaces — facades and walls — and is less suited to floors. The stone changes character completely with the finish: rústico reads raw and volcanic, pulido reads refined and modern.
