rocklike

Solid as granite

Rocklike describes something that resembles or has the qualities of rock—hard, solid, unyielding, or rough in texture.

A rocklike substance might be naturally occurring geological material or something manufactured to have similar properties.

The term applies both literally, as in the rocklike surface of the asteroid, and figuratively, as in his rocklike determination or her rocklike composure under pressure.
