Small pieces of clay. The totality of the clay minerals present in small pieces of clay would be washed away more quickly than the totality of the clay minerals present in the large blocks of clay. Granite, large pieces or small, would weather more slowly than clay.

Does rock transfer heat rapidly?

Depends on the type of rock. The thermal conductivity of most rocks range from 1 to 5 W/mK. (watt per meter kelvin) Compared to other things: Copper, a good conductor, its +-390 W/mK .
