I need to view houses with rock exteriors, either partial, accented or
full rock exteriors.  We are finalizing plans with architect for the
rock exterior house and need examples to compare.  Where do I search
for such viewings PLEASE?

Take a look at this link and let me know what you think:

There's a pretty good collection of rock-exterior houses here, but
it's not 100% -- some other photos slipped in as well.

Does this come close to meeting your needs?

Ah!  You mean like this...?

If this is the sort of thing you're looking for, I can probably find
another 2 or 3 books along the same lines.  Would that meet your
needs?

I'll be happy to assist you further.

this isn't what I had in mind.  I would be wiling to purchase a book
of rock houses for example.  What I need is a site/book dedicated to
purely rock houses.  I don't know what else to search under to get to
the thousands of existing rock houses in this world.  Maybe under
architecture and rock or something?

this is getting there...is there a way I can see some of the insides
of the book(s)?  Can you find a few more similar books please?

There is a commercial website for 'cultured stone' which has a gallery
of sample installations. Its not true stone (a concrete product), but
if you're primarily interested in the aesthetics, perhaps this will
provide what you need:
