What is the best stone for a fireplace?
The best stone for a fireplace is natural stone. Granite is considered to be most durable around a fireplace. It has a good tolerance for heat, is long-lasting and scratch-resistant. It doesn’t chip off or break due to heat. Natural stone adds a traditional as well as a contemporary look to the décor. Shop a range of antique and vintage fireplace tools and mantels on 1stDibs.
