granite walls
Massive rock enclosures
Granite walls are walls made from granite, a hard ignite rock prized for its durability and appearance.
The phrase often appears literally in architecture and landscaping, but figuratively suggests impenetrability or coldness: He spoke to granite walls—no one would listen.
A person with granite walls around them is emotionally guarded or unapproachable.
