James,

If its put on the ground, and not mounted to a stone, would 3/8 granite be a problem?

Yes, If some one runs over it with a tractor there is a good chance it will break, I have made some pet memorials using 2inch cinder block and thinsetting the granite to it. That way it will not break if it gets run over.

Not sure what you use in your bathroom. It's the concrete type, not the latex type that is normally used in kitchens and bathrooms. I've even used quick set with great results.

If you are planning on placing it on flat ground, I would dig down about 2 inches and place a 2" wood form around it and fill it with quick set and level it out and place the tile on it before it sets., then remove the form after it sets and your done.
