Are you speaking of a mortared stone wall or to what is sometimes referred to as a dry stone wall, that is, one made without mortar?
The former should be easy to do by casting the basic shape in plaster (sheet styrene can be used to make simple moulds), then carving the detail into all of the exposed faces. You can then paint or stain to suit your tastes.
The latter generally has more irregular surfaces, with deeper divisions between the individual stones. The aquarium gravel glued to a solid form will probably be your best choice for this type, and again, fairly easy to do, but equally as tedious as the carving required for the other type.
