But Grass would make no sense with the design... the type resistance/weakness does not have to be the exact same as in the anime.
I"d like to see a version of Onix that isn't completely useless though, or that evolves into something that's less hideous than Steelix. Rock/Fairy would work imho, given the association of the Fairy Type with Gemstones. Or Ice/Psychic.
It's still the only logical typing seeing as there is no other typing that is resistant to Water and takes so much damage from a 15 BP Fire-type attack. Grass/Steel is definitely a workable type. Not to mention, some gemstones do form from compressed carbon, such as diamonds, and that carbon can easily come from a Grass-type.
Edit: Not to mention, there are other Pokemon with typings that don't make sense to begin with either. Girafariq is Normal/Psychic-type, which doesn't really make sense for a Giraffe with a head on its tail.
