You have struck microcline!

Microcline is one of the most common stone types found in Dwarf Fortress, showing up pretty much everywhere. Its distinct cyan color is shared only by raw adamantine and ice.

In Real Life

Microcline is the low-temperature form of alkali feldspar. It is a potassium aluminum silicate with a chemical formula of (KAlSi₃O₈). Orthoclase is a mineral of the same composition that forms at higher temperatures.
