Refacing granite hearth. Can it be done?

[Matt30]

So, come the spring we are going to over haul our living room. One of the things that bugs my wife is the granite (I think it's granite) base to our fireplace insert. It's basically a 6'x2'x3"slab.

The colour doesn't much bother me, but of all things I wanna do to the place, this seems to be the only thing my wife truly can't live with. I don't really wanna rip off the slab. But I was thinking if there was any way to reface it? Weather it be tile over it to dress it up or something else.

Anyone heard of doing such a thing? I haven't really found good options anywhere online.

How about wrap in with a stack stone and put on a cap? This is what I did at my new house.

My apologies. I was not aware as I was under the impression that this was a plumbing forum. I thought maybe he thought he was on another and was trying to be helpful.
