In terms of minerals, Kandahar province has got only Gypsum mines, which is being used for construction purposes and semi-precious stone in Shahwalikot district being used for Tasbih by the traditional Tasbih-makers. There are places where granite can be mined, but these are in insecure areas in the mountains near Pakistan.
