How did you leave the conversation with the mason without any kind of amswer besides not brick? This is confusing to me.
Yes that is some kind of stone. I don’t know what kind. It doesn’t matter. You want brick, do brick like that. You like the texture and age of the stone, do stone. There’s a building supply store specializing in stone, slabs, tile, and other surfacing materials somewhere near you. Just go to their showroom and pick a stone that looks similar. (Again, why is the mason not knowing and recommending where you can check out some stone finishing products?)
There’s natural options and manufactured options. Natural costs more but looks better.
Coronado Stone El Dorado Stone Creative Mines are all nice options for manufactured stone products out where I am. It’s all produced regionally so everyone has different products. Priced out some tasty cobbles from like Monumental Stone in the northwest last year.
This was done with what looks like it could be natural stone cobbles for the arch trim and the border on the hearth, and a manufactured stone in the field on the body (just based on that discolored block on the left side, that shit happens w/ manufactured products). It’s probably two manufactured stone products from the same people.
Edit: yea I’m finding products like the border trim on the arch under ‘stone accents’ on El Dorado and similar sites.
