'Most desirable' can be defined in many ways. South Africa is currently the top in platinum production. Some other natural resources deemed 'desirable' by people would be gold and diamonds. Others may find many resources such as uranium, copper, tin, iron ore and nickel useful in their industries, whereas natural gas and coal may be desired by some for energy production. Other resources in South Africa include chromium, antimony, manganese, phosphates, vanadium and salt.
Mostly diamonds.
