Pitchblende is a magma-safe purple stone which occurs in small quantities within granite.
Pitchblende is also the most heavyweight stone besides slade, so it is absolutely inappropriate for making large pots and other commonly-hauled items, and preferable for stone-fall traps and catapults. Additionally, pitchblende crafts are so heavyweight they can fill up a caravan. Hauling pitchblende is not realistic, or at least will take an eternity, without a wheelbarrow.
In Real Life
Pitchblende is an ore of uranium; while it cannot be smelted in Dwarf Fortress, it is often used for decorative purposes within "nuclear reactors" in megaprojects.
this is uranium oxide, but was possibly used for glazing ceramics (colored glass most likely came later involving refinement beyond our tech level)
