That isn't true. Take monkeys for example, or more specifically, monkeys the way you see them in cartoons. They can walk on their arms, use their legs exactly as if they were hands, etc. That is the kind of mindset you need to have when you are thinking of a Zulite. They aren't as flexible as monkeys (cause well, they are stone) but in that aspect they are similar.

And a ROCK... There can't be much customization in that. There would just be different colored sprites really. It's too specific of an idea.
Think quarts, solidified magma, slate, gemstones, fossils, there are some incredible possibilities. Here look at these sites:

http://www.min.uni-bremen.de/sgmcol/
http://dir.yahoo.com/Recreation/Hobb...als/Gemstones/

And not all of them need to be so linear, you can do many things. Be creative. Make a stone covered in moss, or covered in fungi. Or maybe it isn't a stone at all, you can do one made of marshmallows! Whatever you can think of.
