Taj Mahal is primarily constructed of white marble. The platorm is in turne of a rosy sandstone but mostly the marble. The entire surface is ornamented with peitra dura work.
The type of marble used is called 'Makrana marble', named after the town in which the marble is taken from in Rajistan (a state in India).
No, Taj Mahal isn't made out of Igneous Rocks as it's made out of Marble which is a of 'Metamorphic Rock'.
