You have progressed quite a bit since you first started by adding strata and crack details. What I do on my images of this kind is amp up the Enviro Light to 2 - 2.5 to bring out the details in the shadows. It makes a huge amount of difference.
Not very realistic. You would probably get more realistic results with better texture variation between darks and lights. When things are muddled and smooth the shadows will compliment this.
Additionally, rocks have reflection, while it may not be so prominent to the naked eye.
I use a reflection at 0.5 intensity, with a specular of 0.05-0.1 with a spread of 0.2-0.3 and a index of refraction of 1.12.
No ray tracing, but that's due to previewing really. In a final it could add a level of realism, especially with Path Tracing I imagine.
