Nat. stone over brick?

Just trying to get some opinions on installing either natural or synthetic stone over existing brick.
A client wants me to install stone over his brick fireplace on the inside of his house. I haven't seen it yet and we haven't tried this application before. It seems that mortar might not stick that well to bricks if they had a rough face, the kind where you can sort of rub some of the granules off if you brush your hand against it. I'd be afraid for some of the stones to come crashing down on his Ming Dynasty vase!!
Just wondering what type of adhesive and application method would work best.
