Orange granite construction associated with Tyneside (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangerine

'orange' is the definition.
(I know that tangerine is a type of reddish orange)

'granite construction associated with tyneside' is the wordplay.
'construction' indicates an anagram (answer constructed from certain letters).
'associated with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'tyneside' becomes 'ne' (region in North East of England).
'granite' with letters rearranged gives 'tangeri'.
'tangeri'+'ne'='TANGERINE'

(Other definitions for tangerine that I've seen before include "something juicy being given to press" , "Moroccan" , "Kind of orange" , "Orange-type fruit" , "Variety of mandarin orange" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
