Christian.  Great stone work.  Very realistic.  One question, did you purposely cut and place the stones in a perfect mirror image layout or was that your left and right brain subconsciously working together:)

Thanks Don, I figured because it's such a small area, and because it is a focal point I would cut the stones as a mirror image and let the color and texture differentiate the stones. I drew the pattern out on paper first and found that the asymetrical patterns in such a small area just were not working. People seem to like it and I figure it would cost a fortune to have a stone mason cut stone in a symetrical pattern so I'm going to try and capitalize on that.

Nice plan. Certainly adds to the "custom" cutting effect.
