15a) Stone need taking apart ?r?n?t?. Is it granite and why?

[burnhal]

possibly cos its an anagram of tearing?

Thanks, I didn't think of tearing!!

Can I point out that tearing is not in the clue, burnhal and smiley1. But going from what others have said on this site the clue should indeed have said tearing - and granite is therefore correct.

Thanks biley-I did wonder where tearing had come from-assumsed this was meant as "taking apart"
