Did you first try searching before asking? Google and Youtube are usually my first go to places.

Google:
http://www.google.co.nz/search?gcx=w&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=rock+sculpting+mudbox


Youtube:

While not for mudbox, similar sculpting tuts could be useful in learning techniques you might be able to use in mudbox:

Googles search even brings you to polycounts wiki which has some links to tuts on the subject your after:

If thats not enough, come back post what you have achieved in pimping and previews and ask for feedback/advice on how you can improve, use the forum to learn from the community here, use your head to find tutorials

When you have finished your sculpts though, share them here

using hard/creased edges in maya to create the base is also a good to way to start...
