Granite or secondary Gabbro.

Microline is instant dump and smash.

Chalk.

I think my reasoning is both obvious and self-explanatory.

I remember those collectible magazines that came with rock samples, I saw them and thought, how fucking boring, useless rocks.
I would like a mineral collection now.

Sphalerite.

It's magma-safe, but explodes when exposed to dragonfire or particularly high-temperature random beasties. Such win.
It does?!

Obsidian, of course

-You can use it as one of the most powerful weapons in the game (Only cave-ins can compete).
-You can make (mostly useless) swords out of it.
-Creating it involes magma and water, and thus can be very Fun.
-Alternatively, you can mine it out of the sides of a volcano, which is even better.

Sure, it actually is volcanic glass, but it's still awesome.

Gabbro. Magma-safe, abundant, may contain diamonds, ugly, next to worthless - just like dwarves!

Well except for the magma-safe and may contian diamonds bits :P

"is it harmful for my dwarves ? I bet it is"
Always a safe default assumption in this game

Dwarves 'may contain diamonds' in the form that they can get moods and make items that are invaluable.
Can't really argue with the magma-safe comparison.
Guess my vote goes for gabbro. Microcline is useful with its colour, but gabbro in itself is almost useless (plenty of other magma-safe stones around).
It can form layers. It may contain diamonds (unique!). It can contain olivine (-> platinum!). It's useless as a stone.

I used to hate microcline for being everywhere and kind of an eyesore.

But now I use it for floorings in hospitals and fisheries and I'm always running out of it.  :'(

He stole an onion. Off with his head.
I wonder, what would they do if someone killed their king.
Inevitable, who cares. Now an onion...

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.
