No guise about some rock (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

igneous

'some rock' is the definition.
(igneous rock is a kind of rock)

'no guise about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'no'+'guise'='noguise'
'noguise' anagrammed gives 'IGNEOUS'.

(Other definitions for igneous that I've seen before include "Originally molten (rock)" , "Type of rock with molten origin" , "(Rock) of volcanic origin" , "Formed by intense heat" , "(Of rocks) formed from lava or magma" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
