If they are going to be inside of a well preserved tomb structure, perhaps no texture. But if they are going to be somewhere more dilapidated or sandy then some sand added with PVA works. Painted and then drybrushed to bring out the texture.
Colors depending on intended environment. I find that painting the sand black and then drybrushing it gently with a sky blue creates a non-distracting non-specific location look.
