Correct. Flux is used in the process to make steel out of iron (and flux and coal). Thus, flux is more valuable to me than iron, because with lots of flux I can create lots of steel out of goblinite (assuming they've got iron, which isn't always the case in my mineral poor worlds). With iron and no flux you'd be limited to the flux you can import, which is an extremely limited quantity (and there's no guarantee your civ even has flux to sell via caravans).

But there was another thing marble was good for, I noticed recently what was it... *checks* Ah, quicklime. In case you want to start a parchment industry :)
Thanks

If it is lucrative the parchment industry, why not and its good for writing down accumelated knowledge for the dwarfs:
 Writing down laws , and great stories like that  :)
