Bauxite used to be the only Template:L Template:L. Thus, it used to be highly valuable as being the only practical source of magma-safe Template:Ls to be used in Template:Ls. However, nowadays, dwarves have a wide selection of hard to melt rocks, and bauxite is no longer nearly as unique.
Some older players might still prefer to use it for the sake of nostalgia, though, and its pleasing dark red color makes it look like the walls are always dripping with Template:L.
In real life, bauxite is an ore of Template:L, but the technology required to extract it is beyond the level possessed by dwarves.
Bauxite can also contain Template:L and/or Template:L.
Real-Life Information
Bauxite is a stone comprised primarily of the minerals Aluminum minerals gibbsite (Aluminum Hydroxide: Al(OH)3), boehmite (Aluminum Oxide-Hydroxide: AlO(OH)), and diaspore (Aluminum Oxide-Hydroxide: AlO(OH)) (none of which are individually present in Dwarf Fortress). Bauxite forms by the weathering and mineralization of various aluminum-rich soils or clays. Despite the correspondence in game, corundum, the mineral that makes up Template:L and Template:L (Aluminum Oxide: Al2O3) does not form in bauxite.
an ore of aluminum, but through a too-advanced process, in-game as the source of the corundum gemstones (ruby and sapphire)
bauxite melts around 2000C, so it's not practical to smelt it for aluminum (magma only goes up to 1300-1400)
