Diamonds would be the best answer considering gems. Some of the biggest diamonds in the world were discovered in South Africa and its the 4th largest producer of diamonds
But the answer would differ if you just consider mining because Platinum would be the first answer because South Africa has 90% of the worlds platinum metal.
then manganese 80%.....
then chrome 73%...
then vanadium 45%...
then gold at 41%...
only crude oil and bauxite are not found here.
