This is a very tricky question, unless certain parameters are given. The oldest rock in the universe, most likely was a lithium-ion. The oldest rocks in our solar system are from the Hadean Era and would include parts of the Moon and most meteorites. The oldest rocks on Earth are from the Archean Era and include some granite, diorite, anorthosite, monzonite, and komatite.
