like the rock wall behind the woodstove. Are those real rocks?

Would love to know what was used for the rock wall. Looks natural. How would it look on a 15 foot wall?

Thanks for your inquiry. Yes, this is real rock, local river or Great Lakes. It would be excellent on a 15' wall, but I suggest some of the rocks be larger to be proportionate to the area. Regarding this picture I think the mason used too much mortar, and it would be better if the rocks were tighter. Gail
