Raw adamantine is the only {{L|stone}}, aside from {{L|bauxite}}, that can be used to make magma-safe {{L|mechanism}}s. (To do this, you must lift the {{L|economic stone|restrictions}} on its use via the Stone submenu of the {{L|status}} screen.) Mechanisms can also be made from three adamantine wafers at a {{L|forge}} or {{L|magma forge}} (under "trap components") by a mechanic - though this cannot be done with any other metal, it is far more efficient to use the raw stone. |

The {{L|strand extraction}} labor must be enabled for a dwarf to perform the extraction. The process is extremely slow for an unskilled laborer. Adamantine strands are worth 1800☼ each, while the raw adamantine is worth 750. 1 ore => 1 strand => 1 wafer. |
Subsequent processing of the strands requires no adamantine-specific skills or labor permissions. Adamantine strands are processed into adamantine wafers at any [[smelter]]. Adamantine wafers are worth 1500☼ each - curiously, less than the strands they are smelted from. Adamantine wafers are treated much like [[bar]]s of other metal, and can be forged into a variety of useful items. Adamantine strands may also be woven into cloth using the Weave Metal Cloth task in a [[loom]]. The cloth needed varies by article of clothing: 6 cloth is required for a robe, 5 for a cloak or a dress, 3 for trousers or a shirt, 2 for a vest or hood, but 1 cloth produces a pair of gloves, mittens, socks or shoes. No matter what the cost to make, all adamantine clothing seems to be worth 36000☼ for masterwork, 15000 and 12000 for the next grades down. Surprisingly, adamantine clothing ''does'' wear out and lose its value over time like other clothing. Adamantine strands may be dyed for a very small increase in value, but if they are melted into wafers they will return to their normal color and value. | Subsequent processing of the strands requires no adamantine-specific skills or labor permissions.
