Bitumen, alabaster and steatite were probably obtained from Baluchistan. Turquoise and lapislazuli are certainly of Persian or Afghan origin. Hæmatite was imported from the islands of the Persian gulf. Agates, carnelians, onyx and chalcedony, as also rock crystal, were obtained from Kathiawar region. Rajputana is most likely to have provided steatite, slate, jasper, chalcedony, etc.
