Aer-Iron

"Lighter than wood, but hard and strong like iron. This blue-grey ore can be smelted into a light but strong metal, the likes of which are rarely seen on this plane! The trouble is the ore can only be found on the Plane of Air, in small deposits amidst the floating islands... Few and far between, these islands are, and even the largest ones are little more than 100 yards across, little chance of finding a large amount of ore in any one place" - Eadmont Rectiss, Aarakocra merchant and weapon-smith.
