2Estimated data are rounded to no more than three significant digits; may not add to totals shown.
3In addition to commodities listed, other gemstones (aquamarine, emerald, ruby, and spinel) and uranium are produced, but output is not reported; available
information is inadequate to make reliable estimates of output levels.
4Reported figure.
