Idaho’s nickname is the “Gem State”, because nearly every known type of gemstone has been found here. In addition, Idaho is one of only two places in the world where star garnets can be found in any significant quantities, the other being India. Additionally Idaho is sometimes called the “Potato State” owing to its popular crop. The state motto is Esto Perpetua (Latin for “Let it be forever”).
