Yes it was. Aluminium has quite a high melting point so it is difficult to obtain by heating it until it melts and seperates from its' ore. The process we use to get aluminium is called electrolysis, and it requires a lot of energy.

Yes, in Victorian times, aluminium was considered a precious metal because it was difficult and expensive to produce. It was even more valuable than gold and silver at the time. The development of new extraction techniques in the late 19th century led to a significant drop in the cost of producing aluminium, making it more accessible.
