Not all that glitters is gold, but some of the rare earth minerals are nearly as valuable as gold.
In recent times Tantalum is much in demand. So much so that there is a whole war going on over a small region in Africa where the mineral COLTAN (from Columbite and Tantalum) is found.
Just Google COLTAN to find out more about it.
