Madness Ore

Madness Ore is a material that is used to make a special heavy armor in the Shivering Isles. According to Cutter, it contains the souls of dead heroes. It can be found on Grummites or in madness ore deposits that are mainly found underground in the ruined forts of the Shivering Isles. It seems that deposits do not respawn their ore content. Head to Cutter's Weapons in Crucible to forge the armor or weapon. You will have several options depending on how many pieces of ore you have. Most armor requires two pieces of ore, but greaves are three pieces and a cuirass is five pieces.

Magical Madness armor and weapons can be created if a Matrix is found. Each matrix is set to a specific armor or weapon type. The matrix and an appropriate amount of madness ore will allow the smith to create a magical version of that type in madness ore. Madness Matrices are usually found on Grummites.
