Well, I would have to say that it depends on the context- what was the situation surrounding this statement. If I were to use it, it would mean that the person was dependable; solid- that I could lean on them and count on them for whatever I needed- that they are not affected by wavering emotions , but I could count on them and their word was good.
It just occured to me that if the situation was bad, it might mean that the person was unmovable- stubborn
rock is also slang for diamond/ gem- ? "you're a gem, baby" ?
anyway- I would completely take into account the situation and the person who said it- that might help you figure out what they meant

When Jesus called Simon 'Peter', He was using two related words. He said, "I tell you that you are 'petros' and upon this 'petra' I will build my church." (Matthew 16:18)
Petros is a piece of stone. Petra is the rock, the bedrock, from which other stones can be quarried. So I think Jesus was telling Peter, "You're a chip off the old block!"
It also ties in to the parable of the wise and foolish builders The wise man built his house on the rock and when the storm rose and broke against the house, it stood. But the foolish builder built his house on sand, without any foundation. When the storm rose and broke against that house, it fell with a great crash. (Matthew 7:24--27)
The rock is Jesus Himself, and His teachings. Putting them into practice, living by them, will give us a foundation that the storms of life cannot wash away and will prevent all that we have worked for and hoped for from going to waste.
So, in that sense, a rock is someone you have found to be dependable and trustworthy.

it is not virtually the instruments used--it fairly is the concepts-set in contact as properly. And rock certainly isn't what homestead windows media participant says. for example, the singer Mika performs with a stay band--drums, piano/keyboards, guitar, bass, in some circumstances rhythm guitar, yet i do no longer evaluate him rock. he's a pop musician with some rockish features. And the concepts-set. The frank, often sexual concepts-set. The partying all hours, the medicine, the destruction of inn rooms. Opulence at situations. and then the legend.

A rock is usually thought of as a steady, immovable object, standing against the "roaring wind and the raging tide". In this same vein, referring to someone as a rock is saying they bear up well under pressure and don't lose their cool.
