It depends on whether you heard this used as a literal phrase or a slang one. It means a very large rock, such as a boulder or mountain. It can mean a very large gemstone as well. It could also mean something that is figuratively a rock, like a large obstacle to be overcome. Earth has also been called "the third rock from the Sun," and can be thought of as "a big rock."

How big are the particles in metamorphic rock compared to those in sedimentary rock?

How big is sandstone and why is it called sandstone?

Sandstone is a sedimentary rock made up of sand-sized grains of minerals or rock fragments. It can vary in size, from very fine to coarse grains. It is called "sandstone" because of its predominant composition of sand-sized particles that are compacted and cemented together over time to form the rock.


Is breccia a sedimentary metamorphic or igneous rock?

Yes. In the rock cycle, any sedimentary rock can be transformed into a metamorphic rock due to deep burial where the rock is changed by the earth's high temperature and pressure, an exposure to a plutonic intrusion, where rocks such as granite are formed, or any other process where heat and pressure alter the composition, appearance, and classification of a rock. An igneous rock can turn into a metamorphic rock or a sedimentary rock. A metamorphic rock can turn into an igneous rock or a sedimentary rock, and a sedimentary rock can turn into an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock.
