Cool.  Some promise, but I think when you finally get what you want you 
will be some distance from this approach.  I don't think real moss 
growth would respect the structure of the stones much at all unless it 
would be to spread from the cracks or some other surface where it first 
takes root. From places that have more to do with sun or lack of, or 
water pockets? The interruptions where the stones are rotated just 
wouldn't happen much at all I don't think.  That is the 'creepy' part 
about organic growth.  It has no respect. It just crawls over 
everything.  Moss does seem to 'coagulate' into clumps though, so you 
have gotten some of its aspects with a procedural texture.  I am 
thinking just a plain old bozo pattern might work better.  The technique 
you have now, agate? suggests that the moss is responding perhaps to a 
certain mineral veined in the stone.  Maybe lichen would be more like 
that?  I am not much of a naturalist.
