It's from an article about the exploration of Mayan ruins..
...great slabs of rock laid one on top of another........until the gap was small enough to be closed by a capstone.
I'm aware of the term culminante but I'm not sure it's appropriate here.
Thanks for your help...

cabeza de ángulo / piedra cimera
La "piedra angular", tomada en su verdadero sentido de piedra "cimera", se designa en inglés a la vez como keystone, como capstone (que a veces se encuentra escrito también capestone), y como copestone (o copingstone); el primero de estos términos es fácilmente comprensible, pues constituye el exacto equivalente de nuestra "clave de bóveda" (o "de arco", pues la palabra puede aplicarse en realidad a la piedra que forma la sumidad de una arcada tanto como la de una bóveda); pero los otros dos exigen algo más de explicación. En capstone, la palabra cap es evidentemente el latín caput, 'cabeza'. lo que nos reconduce a la designación de esa piedra como la "cabeza del ángulo"; es, propiamente, la piedra que "acaba" o "corona" un edificio.
