When you start out it will look something like this:

Next you want to open the Layers pallet and select the "" in the bottom left hand corner (as shown to the right). After doing so a pull down menu will appear. Select Bevel and Emboss. A window will appear. The following is just preference, but I used the following adjustments. I set Style to "Inner Bevel", Technique is set to "Chisel Hard", Depth to about "300", Size from about "7" to "10", and Soften is at "0".

Now your text should look about like this:

Next select the "" again, but this time select "Pattern Overlay" and the box below should pop up. Select the pull down menu that is called "Pattern" and select satin, which should look like this:

After doing this your text should look a lot like stone, like this:
