In the Mature Harappan Phase, certain gem minerals like lapis lazuli and turquoise might have been imported to Mohenjo-daro from Iran. But the bulk of limestone, gypsum, alabaster etc. came from the local sources. Steatite was not only locally available but also indigenously processed from the manufacture of beads and seals. Nepheline-sodalite rock and yellow stone of Jaisalmer came from Rajasthan.
