All nonsense: none of those minerals are worth anything unless Afghanistan is peaceful, law-abiding, property is secure, infrastructure is modernized. i.e. when the Red King wakes.

There are only a few cases in which mineral resources are abundant enough and profitable enough to matter much to a national economy. Even few in which the profits are big enough to pay for lots of military security to hold the natives down. Sometimes this is the case for oil.

I was going to say we needed a strategic supply of lapis lazuli, but apparently we have US mines in CA. Uneconomic to mine at $55/lb, but that'll change once we discover all the practical uses for the stuff.

As I have pointed out, nobody has ever built a practical quantum computer without using lapis lazuli.
