I am about to get my builder to install a wood burner and need to know if granite or slate would be suitable as a lintel above?

would they take the heat o?, would they splinter etc, and what are they like for heat transfer?

Cheers
Colin

2yellows,
If it's any help I've never seen slate used for this purpose, granite shouls be OK.
