I don't really have many WTF moments with stones, considering the fact that every last one of them is real.

Well, except adamantine.

Puddingstone is good for special-occasion stone soups.

Jelly Opal:
   A very transparent form of Opal usually displaying weak and indistinct colours as if suspended in gelatine

Cinnabar always throws me for a loop... probably because I'm expecting most * to be something smeltable(I know that's not true).

Plus makes it me think of Cinnamon Rolls.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Same here, about Cinnibar.  I'm sure you'll eventually be able to smelt mercury out of it.  And weaponize it, presumably.

Pitchblende, probably.

The dwarven economy is just a stand-in, from what I understand. As it is, it represents an actual economic system about as well as poison ivy represents a salad.
