I have a large backyard with one area where grass does not grow well (shaded area). I’m looking for ideas on what stones or other materials I may be able to use to fill that space and create a Small sanctuary for reading and relaxing.

Your local stoneyard will have vast supply of stone in different colors textures and shapes. I suggest having a visit there and see what you like. Often they have terrific catalogs for ideas on how to install stone and pavers products with different design options.

I have a similar situation, but rather than all stone I have "encouraged" moss to grow.
