If you really want to keep a material 'secret', you can define it in a nonexistent creature or plant instead, and call this creature or plant material in the reaction.  This should prevent it from being used by forgotten beasts and god-given slabs as well (which normally can take any INORGANIC material, even the SPECIAL ones), as well as keeping it from showing up in most lists.  However, sometimes it won't be stockpiled correctly, depending on the item made from it, and you won't be able to work with it in a forge, so I guess it's not what you're looking for.  Works well for vaporizing stones though.

While that may not be exactly what I was looking for in this specific case, that's definitely iiiiiiintereeesting info. This is just the start of a couple extra metals, but I keep toying with the idea in my head to make a few new ones that are unique to say, Kobolds, or Goblins. I keep toying also with what other idea I can come up with to do interesting things with new metals or even minerals, and this information is super cool. Thanks Indigo :D
