Abstract: A composite includes a substrate having a mounting surface and a first substrate side having an irregular profile, and a laminate attached to the mounting surface, a first laminate edge being substantially aligned with the first substrate side and substantially matching the profile thereof. The composite can advantageously be employed in a fountain assembly. A method of making a composite includes substantially aligning an edge of a stone laminate with a side of substrate, and attaching the stone laminate to a mounting surface of the substrate. The edge of the stone laminate substantially matches an irregular profile of the side of the substrate.
