Great if you're using real stone but VINMAN used cultured stone. If you break a piece of this the inside is white so you have to be careful and set the broken side a 1/4 deeper so the mortar will hide it. Nice job VINMAN. I did a similar job on my family room FP and then carried it out to the BBQ island I built a couple years back. Obligatory shots...
