That's because the only way to get aluminum, historically, was to find nuggets of it. The process for extracting it from bauxite wasn't invented until the mid to late 1800s. This is reflected in Dwarf Fortress, as aluminum metal has the same value as platinum and bauxite is a near-worthless construction material.
