I'd like to see two new igneous extrusive stones that are only generated on volcanic islands.

FYI, pumice occurs in plenty of places other than volcanic islands.  Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Vesuvius both have a good amount of pumice around them from their eruptions.

The history of a good fortress is not written in blood, it's painted on the walls by the hand of a melancholy orphan.

Pumice actually existed in the old 2D versions of Dwarf Fortress as one of the generic gray stones - during the transition to 3D, it was removed.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

No. All "grey stones" are fairly boring.
