Bauxite used to be the only Magma-safe stone. Thus it used to be highly valuable as being the only practical source of magma-safe mechanisms to be used in floodgates. However nowadays dwarfs have a wide selection of hard to melt rocks, and bauxite is no longer nearly as unique.
Some older players might still prefer to use it for the sake of nostalgia though, and it's pleasing dark red color makes it look like the walls are always dripping with blood.
In real life, bauxite is an ore of aluminum, but the technology required to extract it is beyond the level posessed by dwarves.
