Each of Nevadas seventeen counties produces two or more minerals. Most of them produce many. Precious and base metals actively mined in Nevada have included gold, silver, copper, iron, tungsten, lead, zinc, mercury, manganese, molybdenum, antimony, beryllium, uranium, and lithium. Generously deposited throughout the State, gem stones have long attracted both Indians and white men. Turquoise, variscite, fire opal, jasper, and agate are among Nevadas semiprecious minerals. Some of the largest fire opals found in the Western Hemisphere have come from Humboldt County, while the quality of Nevada turquoise is considered among the best in the world. Industrial minerals, though less spectacular in their seduction of man, have become a vital part of the State's mineral industry, making up more than one quarter of the total product. From such pedestrian items as sand, gravel, and volcanic cinders to the fossilized remains of microscopic diatoms, they find their way to thousands of marketable uses, including antibiotics and even space capsules. Nevada's vast wealth of industrial minerals also includes barite, brucite, clays, fluorspar, gypsum, lime, marl, magnesite, perlite, petroleum, pumice, pumicite, salt, stone, talc and soapstone, vermiculite, and volcanic ash.
