"liquid barrel (Cedar)", which contained "liquid[10]", which informed me that "This is a stack of 10 liquid."  I bought it, of course, and have been trying to poke at the thing ever since.  It has a weight of <1 for the whole stack, a base value of 1☼ per, and goes to no stockpile when I have stockpiles for everything but stone, which means nobody knows what it is!  I think it's either cedar sap, or raw material for a Philosopher's Stone.  Sadly, I did not pick the alchemist skill on embark for any dwarves.)
