You will not need a release agent with silicone rubber molds,but you may need to vibrate after you pour the concrete into the mold.
What type of concrete mix are you using? Have you added any add-mixtures to your mix?

Dear Stanley & Johnny,

Thanks for the respons, i used cement, sand, and light agregates for my cast stone, but still i can't find the right combination so the textures of the stone can show. Any suggestion please?
