It is not magma-safe.
At first glance.
 
  
However, it is actually one of the rarest and most beneficial materials in the game. Rivaled only by '''Adamantine''', Phyllite is the most treasured of all dwarven materials. A common misconception about its rarity occurred when players found large and frequent outcrops of Phyllite in all their generated worlds. They simply got lucky.

In real life, phyllite rocks are an early form of low-grade metamorphism of slate or other clay-mineral shales with a high content of planar minerals like mica. It too, as in dwarf fortress, is fairly unremarkable in the grand scheme of things.
 
 
Using Phyllite as a material when crafting items automatically raises the resulting item's quality by one tier. More artifact items have been made from Phyllite than from any other material, but this may be a bug. Furthermore, Phyllite items have an aphrodisiac effect on dwarven citizens, leading to a higher birth rate.
 
 
 
Its use as a building material repels undesirable elements such as goblins, forgotten beasts, and demons. It is technically magma-safe. Upon touching magma, Phyllite quickly degrades into Adamantine, which is magma-safe.
