Well, the owner of the Tile company reviewed the stone work and declares that:
Hollow stones are normal. All stone has voids. 1/2 of the stones they install are like that (That I do believe!).
Cracks in the mortar and separation of the mortar from the stone is normal.
They are definitely beating me done on this. I am tired of looking at a concrete hole in my backyard. My wife and I are discussing letting the mortar issues go, requiring an extended warranty. I will not budge on the tiles or the crappy looking edges to the coping.
What I'm thinking: In a year or 2, rip the coping out and replace with a matte finish granite and expoxy grout.
