Wikipedia article

Aluminum is a metal found as an ore in small clusters of native aluminum. Most modern aluminum production is artificial and requires electricity, so the rarity of this metal in the Dwarf Fortress universe makes it extremely valuable- It has the same material value as Platinum, making it useful to put in nobles' rooms to increase room quality. Aluminum is also very light. It is not usable for weaponry or armor.
