It pretty much depends on how old your company is.

For example, raw materials are a good thing for newer companies to make, which makes Stones a very good thing to make with mines.
This because they're always Q0, so there's no "Ages of research before it finally becomes profitable", and building materials are always in demand.

If you're an older company, then I don't really know as I still make stones anyway.

And I'm not that familiar with Realm 1.

most of the time its just stones. except if stone prices drastically fall, to somewhere around 10/unit. which doesnt happen very often

that is so very sad.

but oh well. I'll continue producing stones anyway.

well i have minerals in my warehouse q29 which i bought for 80c!
and this is because i needed them and couldnt find them for la long time.
so i guess that minerals can be better than stones if you can get a nice research level.
but maybe it was only me who gave all this money.
so i dont know.

Stones is best for smaller companies, but eventually, when you have a high research for another product, you should change your production.

The problem is that mines produce stones which are in big demand, you can usually get 27 caps for it, while coal/iron ore will never reach even close. Jewelry raw materials are usually sold so cheap that you actually lose money if you buy power required. And quartz and minerals markets are very small, like, one company could cover the entire quartz market.

Now that you mention it, I've produced both Minerals and Quartz on Realm 1, And it did takes ages to sell indeed.
I guess people who need those materials already have their suppliers via contracts or something, the market doesn't really allow anyone to make money from it.

Realm 2 wasn't as bad with minerals and quartz on the last time I checked, but Stones are still the best way to go on either realm.
