Cyclone had disturbed rock (10)

I believe the answer is:

chalcedony

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rock' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both substances as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'cyclone had disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters is disturbed).
'cyclone'+'had'='cyclonehad'
'cyclonehad' with letters rearranged gives 'CHALCEDONY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chalcedony that I've seen before include "Gem" , "mineral" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
