Type of stone (7)

I believe the answer is:
granite
'type of stone' is the definition.
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for granite that I've seen before include "Get rain (anag) - rock" , "Igneous rock, generally composed of feldspar and mica and quartz" , "Crystalline rock" , "Very hard type of rock" , "Tangier (anag.)" .)
