Alex,

I'd start with a photo, if you can find one, of the stone you're trying to
match.  Then, start playing with layered textures to see if you can
duplicate it.  It's a very tedious trial and error process to match
something specific. Here's an example of layered texturing for stone
effect.  See picture in bin.images. Try changing the colors of the base
texture and transparent overlay to match the colors you like.

Mike
