+1 on all of these. It looks to me, though, that you could probably avoid this. Pick 2 or 3 of the more boulder shaped rocks and take them out to the curb, and smash them on a rounded corner... they should break into a few larger pieces and a number of smaller ones. The smallest ones are good for attaching zoas and palys to. The larger ones should have some interesting shapes, just aim a crevasse in the rock for a 'cave' and it should cleave somewhere around that area, IME... I ended up with a few chunky shapes and some shelfy shapes also. Use these near the top, using the boulders as the base.
