It depends on the application of the rock or mineral. For instance, granite is very popular in the manufacture of counter tops and gravestones. But for electrical production, coal is by far the most popular. Malachite is popular among copper refiners, and halite is very popular among chefs and diners. Quartz is the mineral that appears to be most popular among mineral collectors, but gold and diamond are favorites of jewelry makers and consumers. Limestone is preferred among road makers and concrete manufacturers.
