I think this one pose a bit more challenge you actually get large and also deep pit that if you want to practice the inner detail.
What i would say help to make rock from imagination is to add more break up in the silhouette than you would normally do otherwise you go toward stylization also between the plane change making sure you don't get to much straight line but a good mix of angle and curve to create a realistic ''break'' look not as exaggerated as piece of glass breaking and certainly less angular.
What i also suggest is you to try not only studying from reference but doing your own and that way you can find the detail that bring out the quality of a good rock it help to ''destroy'' the preconception of the symbolistic way we see thing.
(Also talking about study if you study from ref i always advise posting the reference otherwise the viewer can't tell if it from imagination or from life otherwise i would say using the term study from life instead of study would also help differentiate if you are using reference or not it probably unnecessary concern since i doubt pretty much anyone really draw without reference but personally i believe drawing without reference as some use. It help us become aware of the symbolism we rely on when we are not looking at the reference. This is not a problem when we actually take the time to draw what in front of us and not in were mind. That a problem normally when someone is not train to take the time to observe a break down the subject matter.
It always to me important to be reminded myself every time i study something i never draw i have to observe the subject for longer period and acually use internal dialogue to describe what i am seeing.Seeing is in a way being able to describe the subject matter with great detail then it turning that ''vocabulary'' into concept that translate into either line(turn into shape) or gradient(turn into form change).
