That would be totally up to you, the code is for a non cumbustable surface to extend "x" amount of inches infront of the glass. The trim would be optional.

Did the hearth have to be simply non-combustible or did the manual specify a specific K or R value?

Then your fine. Trim like Mountain Stove Guy said is up to you. I was just asking about the R or K value because if it did specify one typically a piece of stone is not sufficient at a reasonable thickness.
sorry all he said is a non cumbustible i went with 1" thick,,, how or what stone has a rating value
