The nickname for Nevada is 'The Silver State', dating from the Nevada silver rush days of the mid 1800's. At that time silver was literally shovelled off the ground in Nevada. Heavy grey crusts of silver had formed on the surface of the desert over millions of years and were polished by dust and wind to the dull luster of a cow horn (called "horn silver").

Yes, the Comstock Lode in Nevada's Carson River valley was one of the world's richest silver veins, discovered in the 1850s. It led to a silver rush and the development of towns like Virginia City. The mining activities in this region contributed significantly to Nevada's economy and played a role in its statehood.
