Stone Archway


Hi all,
I must admit I am not a contractor, but need professional advice. I've got an archway leading from my living room to kitchen and would like to 'stone' it.
I've had 2 companies/contractors out to quote the job and while the prices were similar, the stone they wanted to use was different.
One said I would need a fake stone, and the other said I could use a real stone (that would match the fireplace in our living room)
So, you can see my delima - can real stone be used for a job like this?
The link below is a pic of my archway:

Also, I'm located in Dallas - if anyone here is located in the area I'd love another quote!

thanks,
jeremy
