Microcline is the best mineral in the game, and also the most common. Even adamantine quakes at the existence of this material, as it is the highest value and most diverse material in the game.

Or atleast, it's meant to be. Due to a bug in Toady's coding, microcline actually doesn't have its special pop up window neccesary for its status (much like that of admantine) and the game also does not switch to "Royal" mode, where the game swaps from ASCII into the real graphics, groundbreaking 3D enviroments, with excellent models and physics worked excellently. Microcline is also, due to a misplaced 0 (or a googol of them) not the highest value, although it should be. Toady has recieved many angry complaints about this mistreatment of the wonderful Microcline, which is still noted at every point the player discovers a vein of it. Many new players assume Microcline to simply be a common stone type, with no special qualities. Little is it known that originally Microcline was intended to be adamantine, as well as the jail of the HAPPY FUN STUFF!
