Bauxite is the only stone, apart from adamantine and the three iron ores (Hematite, Magnetite, Limonite), which is suitable for the construction of mechanisms to be used in floodgates which will come into contact with magma. Unfortunately bauxite can be found only in sedimentary areas, which are rare around volcanoes. However, you can trade for Bauxite stones with the Dwarven caravans. They're not expensive, and you should get enough to make a few bauxite mechanisms (just make sure their wagons make it to your trade depot alive and in one piece of course). You can also plan ahead and buy some before embarking. Just be sure to keep your mason away from them until you turn them into mechanisms; forbid them until you are ready, if need be.
Bauxite is the only stone that contains rubies or sapphires, found as small clusters.
While Bauxite is an aluminum ore, the technology to extract aluminum from it does not exist in the game setting.
