Refinement
Some enchanters and alchemists refine it into a paste-like substance that is used to create some enchantments and potions.
Manufacturing & Products
It is most often used for the transportation of goods. The material is fairly strong so a large enough piece can be fashioned into a container itself. Far more often smaller pieces of the material are tethered or socketed into wood or metal frames to lighten carts, containers, or other mundane items to reduce their weight.
