Ŝtona ĉirkaŭis .

Two ways to say a thing is made of stone, and both are current: , out of stone, or the adjective ŝtona. The adjective also goes metaphorical, so a ŝtona is as hard as it sounds in English.
Size is handled by affixes rather than new words. o is a pebble, o is a boulder. If you mean rock as the stuff a cliff is made of rather than a loose lump, is the word you want.
