Can we please get a purely decorative version of Coals and a less restrictive placing them?

[Kacpert25]

Coals has great decorative potential. But the problem is that it heats up in the summer, making it unsuitable for use as a path.

That's why I think it would be great to add a similar item crafted from rocks, which would serve a purely decorative purpose. 
This shouldn't be too difficult to implement, as it would be enough to simply change the color.

Besides, placing this item could be more flexible.
Currently, they can be placed in a 2x2 format on the turf. They cannot be placed between two turfs or centrally in the turf.

Spoiler

This is problematic when you want to lay a single-width Coals road.

So it would be good if they could be placed in a different grid.
Not like this now.

But like that.

You should be able to use the Embalming Spritz (the shadow liquid-thingy that scares plants) on the Coals to keep them in their current state forever, but then scared voals should lose their heat-properties so it would only be visual.

That was my first idea. But it would have used far too many of resources used to craft embalming spritz. 
So, adding a purely decorative version of coals would have been simpler.
