Granite-like rock in Dordogne is spectacular (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gneiss

'granite-like rock' is the definition.

'in dordogne is spectacular' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GNEISS' can be found hidden inside 'dordogne is spectacular'.

(Other definitions for gneiss that I've seen before include "Coarse-grained rock; sounds like agreeable" , "Metamorphic rock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
