I did not even know that states had a "state mineral" until this made me look into it, but sure enough... Not every state has a state mineral, or rock, but Alaska has both. Mineral: Gold.  Rock: Jade. Seems kind of silly to me. What's next, a state smell? My state's smell would be squashed skunk, I think.

There are some pay to dig sites in  Marion County. Fluorite and Galena near El Dorado, Near Cave in the Rock there are some Fluorspar mines, and some Calcite near Golconda. This is from the GPAA mining guide. Lots of luck, hope you find a bunch.

Coal, iron, uranium, and manganese are pretty common. Agricultural resources include coffee, cocoa, yams, and maize. Africa is the second largest continent with vast resources.

In my county in Maryland, we have recycling of glass, plastic, and mixed paper with weekly pickup at our houses. There seems to be widespread participation and it's much more convenient than lugging your bottles back to the store.

The department of natural resources is in charge of managing all the natural wilderness in the united states. this includes places like Yellowstone, and The Grand Canyon.   Any national Park really. Any park ranger would probably work in that department.  natural reserves like oil, coal, timber, things that can be distributed are managed by this department. All the animals, forests, ATV trails, anything outside basically.

The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources maintains the largest conservation and environmental stewardship education program in the commonwealth. Through a variety of educational and informational programs from one corner of the commonwealth to the other, DCNR staff annually educate hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and visitors to Pennsylvania's state parks and forests.\n\nConservation and environmental stewardship extends beyond our public lands. It starts with every citizen of any age. Conservation and Environmental stewardship extends to cities and towns because plants and animals seek out space to grow and live in areas right in the middle of houses, stores, offices and other busy places just as they seek habitat in our beautiful wild areas.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park\nNatural AreasPennsylvania state park natural areas are of unique scenic, geological or ecological value. These areas are maintained in a natural condition by allowing physical and biological processes to operate, usually without human intervention. Natural areas are set aside to provide locations for scientific observation of natural systems, to protect examples of typical and unique plant and animal communities and to protect outstanding examples of natural interest and beauty.\n\nDelaware Canal State Park has two designated state park natural areas – Nockamixon Cliffs and River Islands. These areas contain threatened or endangered species and are unique natural environments. Visitors are welcome to explore these areas, but are asked to abide by the old saying, “take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Camping within natural area, including the river islands, is prohibited.\n\nRiver IslandsEleven state park river islands are now protected natural areas within a river corridor that is experiencing dramatic economic growth. The islands provide critical habitat for migratory waterfowl and songbirds, contain sites of archaeological importance, and enhance recreational opportunities for fishermen and canoeists.\n\nSome river islands, such as Hendrick Island, were originally park of the main shoreline, but most islands grew individually from the river itself. Silt and stone left by glacial waters almost 10,000 years ago form the substrate of these islands. Seeds were eventually deposited by wind, water or wildlife. As plants grow on the islands, the roots bind the substrate materials together. Although they are relatively stable, the size, shape and location of the islands shift slightly with the movement of the river water.\n\nNockamixon CliffsTopography, geology, and scenic beauty combine to create the unique character of the Nockamixon Cliffs Natural Area. These sheer cliffs tower 300 feet above the Delaware River and dominate the landscape. Because the cliffs face the north, they receive little direct sunlight. This cool habitat supports an alpine-arctic plant community unusual this far south. Almost directly across the Delaware River, an opposite set of circumstances occurs, creating habitat for unusually arid plants.\n\nNockamixon Cliffs originated geologically from reddish sands and mud carried by torrential streams from the northwest. Massive amounts of these sediments were deposited into temporary shallow lakes. The resulting red sandstone and shale can still be found throughout the region. They are bright red and break easily into flakes and fragments.\n\nToward the end of the Triassic Period, molten magma from deep with the earth’s crust flowed into these beds of sedimentary rock. The “igneous intrusions” heated the surrounding sandstone and shale, changing them into tough, weather-resistant rock called hornfel.\n\nDuring the Jurassic Period, the region was subjected to continuous erosion. While some other rock, such as the sandstone and shale were worn away, the hornfel resisted weathering, allowing the Nockamixon Cliffs to “rise” above the surround landscape.

hi there, the best state i think you would find them in is maine, cause up here in the northeast  not many can afford plastic big ones. so they are mostly natural here.  in the northeast.   good luck

Mountains. :) It's a natural piedmont that bears lots of coal and gem stones.

From wikipedia.com: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland#Geography_and_climate\n\nMaryland is bounded on the north by Pennsylvania, on the west by West Virginia, on the north and east by Delaware and the Atlantic Ocean, and on the south, across the Potomac River, by Virginia. It shares a border near the center of the state along the Potomac with Washington, DC. The Chesapeake Bay nearly bisects the state, and the counties east of the Bay are known collectively as the Eastern Shore. A portion of extreme western Maryland in Garrett County is drained by the Youghiogheny River as part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. The highest point in Maryland is Backbone Mountain, which is the southwest corner of Garrett County, right near the border with West Virginia near the headwaters of the North Branch of the Potomac. Also in Western Maryland, about two-thirds of the way across the state line, is a point at which the state of Maryland is only two miles wide. This geographical curiosity is located near the small town of Hancock.\n\nPhysical formations \nAppalachian Mountains \nChesapeake Bay \nThe Delmarva Peninsula is a geographic term for the Eastern Shore counties of Maryland, the state of Delaware, and two counties of Virginia, which all together form a long extension down the Atlantic seaboard. One of the most noted features of Delmarva is Maryland's Assateague Island, on the Atlantic, with its herd of wild ponies accustomed to the seashore.\n\n[edit]\nClimate\nClimate varies greatly across the state, depending on factors like elevation, rainfall, and proximity to water. The Eastern Shore and a small part of the western shore, including the cities of Salisbury, the city of and east metro Baltimore, Annapolis, and St. Mary's City is a part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, which has a humid subtropical climate of hot summers and short, chilly winters. Farther west is the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, and the Piedmont region which includes west metro Baltimore, Westminster, Frederick, metro Washington, DC and Hagerstown. This region gets warm summers and moderately cold winters, with a warm continental climate where snow can occur annually. Extreme western Maryland has a mountain climate with mild summers and cold winters, and some places receive up to 100 inches of snow annually.\n\nFor a state as small as it is, Maryland posses a great variety of topography. It ranges from sandy dunes dotted with seagrass and warm coastal fauna in the east, to low, humid marshlands teeming with water moccassins and large baldcypress near the bay, to gently rolling hills of oak forest in the piedmont region, and mountain pine groves in the extreme west.

"Non-Mineral Resources of the Appalachian/Piedmont"\nhttp://www.priweb.org/ed/TFGuide/NE/nonmin/nonmin_files2/nonmin_pdfs/nonmin2.pdf\n\n"Emery is no longer mined in the Appalachian/Piedmont, because synthetic abrasives, less expensive to produce, have replaced it.  At one time, though, emery was an important natural resource of the region."

Natural: crude oil, timber (trees), precious metals (gold, silver, copper)\nHuman: computer programmers, engineers, teachers.\nCapital: not sure about this one...cash is a good bet.
