Wondering what that new kind of rock your dwarves just struck is good for? Probably nothing, but when you're just getting started it can be tough to tell the trash from the treasure. The following table summarizes the types of stone and ore found in Dwarf Fortress (note that it does not include gems).

The Uses column lists any special uses or properties of this particular stone type; if no uses are listed, you can always use the stone for general construction and crafting.

For more detailed information, see the Stone and Ore pages.
