I was working on some rock lump kind of things on one planet but a lot of this is done via method on New Rocks thread. The difference being that you get control of how they blend with terrain compared to fake stones. After this I found these. You could probably just use fake stones though:

So often you'll create something weird then find similar things actually exist in nature.
