Today was pour day.
The first layer, regular pre bagged concrete mix, with fiberglass chop and plasticizer added. This layer is 1 1/2 thick.

The styrofoam strips that keep the concrete away from the front edges were removed once the concrete had set enough to not slump.

The final layer, 3/8 marble chips with enough white portland to fill in the voids. Grey dye and plasticizer used as well.

The surface finish is horrible, with no sand to float the stone its almost impossible to trowel.
Now wait a few days to allow it to set.
