Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

I'm a brick layer and I have my own mason company, Please do not paint over your brick. You can use a man made stone over you fire place, there are millions of different colors. I have an old web site look at it , there is a fire place I have done outside, it is fake stone. hollingsworthmasonry.com.
Or you can tile over it. tile is an unlimited color as well. ohh I think there might be a fire place on the back of a house as well. both of those are fake stone.
