Okay, I actually have two questions.

First: Does anyone know if the U.S. still has any operating mines (precious gems, etc.)? Or does the U.S. get all their precious gems overseas?

Secondly: Does anyone know all the side things Lex had going? What exactly did he have his hands in during the season he was at the height of his power? I know a lot of fanfics have him dabble in gun-running, etc., but can anyone tell me if the episodes really said what he's involved in? (Didn't he have some dealings with STAR labs, for instance??)

Thanks!
