You have a choice of either cultured stone or classic natural stone. Natural stone has been around since as far back as we can trace, and while it is very nice looking it is also much more expensive and also a lot heavier.

Another advantage of cultured stone fireplaces is that you can get them to look like many different types of stone surfaces, while natural stone has limits of what stone can be used. Another great thing about cultured stone fireplaces is that they will last you a very long time and most of the manufacturers of cultured stone usually offer 50 year guarantees against cracking and fading, and this is what makes cultured stone so appealing.
