Enjoy the natural beauty of stone without watching your bank account sink like a rock. The Morningside Mantel is made with a combination of crushed limestone and portland cement.

According to the manufacturer, the composite material looks like stone, but is lighter than solid limestone. And it costs less, too.

The finished product can be affixed to a solid substrate with construction adhesive. Choose from five colors, ranging from light tan to a mottled brown.

Morningside Mantel shown is $800 (June 2006).
