what type of hearth to build?

We are wanting to build a wall 3m high in the lounge...1.2m wide finished at ceiling height widening out to 1.8m at the base with a 150mm high hearth 1.8m long; 1.3m deep & 150mm off the ground of Eldorado Stone.

I dont want to have the hearth look busy or detract away from the stone wall & its grouting so THINK that we dont want tiles, which would be another medium, more lines, grouting and maybe compete in colour, size, shape to the wall. I have looked at a slab of granite or marble & polished concrete for the free standing wood burner to sit on bearing in mind that the flue will be a dominant feature also. Any further suggestions would be fantastic. There arent many choices of free standing wood burners to look at on Pinterest as I have looked at all of those already. THANKS
