Best way is to leave the rock work alone once you have them glued in place at least until they encrust the rocks. Learned the hard way that no matter how much glue or epoxy you use to stick it to the rocks if you keep moving them there's a great chance they will get knocked off.

I've never had success with super glue alone. I toothbrush the rock, dab the frag bottom dry and then apply:

glue | tiny bit of epoxy | glue

and stick it. This method has not failed me once. I've gotten cleaner with it too you need a very small amount of epoxy. It allows a flush fit between frag and rock no matter what the surfaces are shaped like.
