First fireclay in 130 hour save file

[Dio L]

First time finding fireclay in my 130 hour world  I stopped even thinking about finding naturally generated fireclay once I figured out you could craft it. I live in a massive bauxite/lime biome and I SCOURED the area for fireclay at some point in my first year without ever finding anything, so I gave up. Cut to 100+ hours later and I found a pretty good size deposit underground while caving, still the only fireclay I've ever found in this world. I thought fireclay was a myth...

The definitely best way to find naturally generating fire clay is looking for black coal deposits, it spawns near it almost all the time (at the very least in my experience it did)
Though I understand the amazement, I was also shocked at first seeing the myth alive

Damn I got to go back to that one deposit I had and see what is there. Does it show up when prospecting?

Coal yes, clay doesn't show
