Yes. I have seen some, but no clue as to how it was done.

I would think so I had a friend who did headstones many years ago he used a die grinder with diamond bits.
Here is a website for cnc bits https://www.stylecnc.com/cnc-router-parts/Tapered-diamond-3d-deep-relief-bits-for-marble-granite.html

Dan here is one of the threads here on the forums for doing that.

So it's doable. That's great news. I'll have to look into this further.

Just ran across some videos on carving rock on youtube. The one I looked at showed a guy carving a crab on top of a rock, and it actually looked like a live crab. Check out rock carving or carving rocks, something along those lines. I knew rocks could be carved, but not to detail like that. I'll stick with wood tho.
