In 1988, Alabama's nonfuel mineral output was valued at a record $459 million, exceeding the previous record set in 1987 by $12 million. Production increased for clays, sand and gravel, and lime, but decreased for cement and crushed stone. Many of Alabama's nonfuel mineral commodities--common clay, cement, sand and gravel, and stone--were used by the construction industry. Construction activity remained strong during the year. Alabama ranked 21st nationally in total nonfuel mineral production. The State's mineral producers ranked in the top 10 in the production of several mineral commodities: bauxite (second), bentonite (third), fire clay (third), masonry cement (fourth), and lime (fifth).
