Looking much better.  Perhaps they could be a little shinier on the top
(wearing surface) , you might want to try texture mapping with the slope
pattern to achieve this.  Add a bit of random displacement, plus (similar
to the other scene someone else posted) an overall area displacement to
simulate settlement.  (as an additional comment you might try, cobblestones
look especially cobblestoney when wet)
