The extensive palette of installer-friendly Country Ledgestone differentiates one Ledgestone from another. It also provides a more subtle blend of color.

* Stone sizes: 1 ½"–6 ½" in height, 4 ¾"–22" in length

Southern Ledgestone: http://www.culturedstone.com/products/1/16/southern-ledgestone.aspx

Southern Ledgestone offers a rugged and informal appeal with its rough texture and decided irregularity. Tight-fitted or mortared, Southern Ledgestone can be used to achieve a number of unique treatments.

* Stone sizes: 1/2"–6" x 4"–20"

For a contemporary house which would look better?

I think the Country Ledge in something like Eucalyptus, Shale or White Oak.

I do like Eucalyptus and Bucks-county from what I see on the board. Unfortunately there are no houses around here for me to see with this stone used. And making a decision based on that small board is making me nervous.

I'm also torn between a country ledgestone and southern ledgestone for my fireplace in my 1966 colonial. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
