What's a word that begins with "d" and has something to do with stones or rocks? I can't think of anything, yet it's vitally important for a stupid pun I hope to use.

I want to make a "Personal Digital Assistant" out of a rock. Dolomite looks pretty good.

I really missed the mark on this because my first thought was 'Dumb'. As in, dumb as a box of rocks.

Moving right along....
