Any comments/suggestions on using fake stone to re-face a brick fireplace?

    I considered "cultured" stone .... fake stone that looks pretty good.  My application was for facing an exterior concrete patio wall ...........   I decided to go with real stone however .........  everything else in my remodel was real, didn't want to risk having it look fake.
