An air burst might scorch the rock a bit. It's worth noting that the building in Hiroshima under Little Boy's Ground Zero--an air burst--was largely intact, and is currently part of a monument. One of those "burrowing" warheads, like those designed to take out bunkers or missile silos, might make a bigger impression.
