Spirulina was found in Mexico.

Can I write the sentence, using 'it-cleft'?

It was spirulina that was found in Mexico?

In the right context, yes (for example, when clarifying that spirulina, not some other thing mentioned, was found in Mexico). It seems possible that you may mean "is found" or "was discovered".
