Product is Owens Corning ‘Cultured Stone’ Country Ledgestone. I want to attach it to the existing fireplace. The product website says stucco should be sandblasted or metal lath attached. What’s the best way to attach it? The fireplace hearth is tiled. I don’t want to sandblast or tear anything out. Any suugestions? Thanks in advance

In general, "cultured stone" is plaster usually embedded with fibreglass for strength, not something you want to cut or breathe in if possible. But you could use Z-clips, anchoring one side to the tile and the other to the stone or backer block and stone.
Another option is construction adhesive as long you can rig up a device to hold it all in place.
