There are stones that can and have been made into water features, you can have a interesting rock sand blasted with a loved ones name and appropriate dates, you can make a custom stepping stone using shells, glass gems, or colored glass (google search: how to make stepping stones with colored glass... choose the "more images" selection) Pinterest.com will have ideas on this too as well as instructions.
