I use slate. It's not as good a conductor as people say, even with my UTH on max. Make sure you get as thin pieces as you can. Other than the conducting part, I highly recommend it. Looks very natural and they seem to love it. If there are any spaces left when I lay down the slate as best as I can, I just fill them in with the expandable coconut fibre stuff.

PS: make sure to file down the edges so they don't cut themselves.
