    Is it possible to merge stones?

    Hi there, I have a slightly odd request. Could I hire a stoneworker to have two stones melted and merged into one? One is owned by myself and the other by my husband and we would like to merge them ahead of our wedding and then keep it on the mantelpiece. Thank you very much.
