Bauxite is the only stone, apart from Raw adamantine, which is suitable for the construction of mechanisms to be used in floodgates which will come into contact with magma. Unfortunately bauxite can be found only in sedimentary areas, which are rare around volcanoes. However, you can usually trade for Bauxite stones with the Dwarven caravans (this is determined by availability in your home civilization). They're not expensive, and you should get enough to make bauxite mechanisms. You can also plan ahead and buy some before embarking, so long as the civilization that you embark from has bauxite.
Be sure to keep your mason, mechanic and craftsdwarves away from bauxite until you want to turn them into mechanisms; best forbid them until you are ready.
Bauxite is the only stone that contains rubies or sapphires, found as small clusters.
While Bauxite is an aluminum ore in Real Life, the technology to extract aluminum from it does not exist in the game setting.
