Best Answer

Idaho is known as the 'GEM' state because nearly every known gem stone has been found in the state of Idaho. In addition, there are only two places in the world where 'STAR GARNETS' are found, Idaho is one and the other is in the Himalayan Mountains of India. Idaho is the only place where 'SIX Sided Garnets' have been found.
