Economic resources

And yet another list! These are all resources of major importance I can think of at the moment. Most of them are rather generic. Nords aren't as exotic as Dunmer, unfortunately, but maybe you have ideas for some more alien native products?
Minerals:
Silver - Skyrim features large silver depots that contribute to a modest wealth in the western holds of the province. Most silver mines are found in Haafinheim and the Reach and may often be under direct control of the Empire.
Quicksilver - A mysterious substance being of interest for alchemists aswell as advanced nord smiths that use them to create ornate weapons of unmatched hardness. One of the metals used for creating nord silver weapons.
Iron - The most commonly found metal. Excessive availability in some areas.
Orichalcum - A greenish metal once favoured by the Direnni only second to Adamantium and main metal of which orc armor is made today. Disposals of this metal are rare and most-seeked and exploited by orcs.
Ebony - Mined in small amounts in the Velothi Mountains. An ingredient for creating high-end nord armor.
Copper - Mined in small amounts in Falkreath and near the Hammerfell border. Of lesser importance.
Amber - Collected by locals and exported in modest number. Once used by the Direnni for creating a yellowish glass.
Rock Crystal - One of the few minerals I once arbitrarily added from TR_Data. Could be a frequent sight in caves of the Jerall mountains.
Aquamarine - A gem found in the icy mountain ranges near the northern coast? Could be used together with silver for embellishments of all kind.
Lumber:
Ironwood - a rare kind of wood, not receiving much attention outside of the province, but used by Nords to create extremely hard shields and durable wood constructions.
Pine wood - cheap wood collected across the whole province and exported in large numbers via Haafingars harbour.
Oak wood - a hard wood with moderate availability, collected in the southern part of the province and much demanded outside of the province.
Animal-based products:
Honey & mead
Leather
Pelts
Horns
Smoked meat
Troll bones
Products of nord craftmanship exported across the continent:
Anything made from silver: Kitchenware, embellishments and weapons fashioned after imperial design.
Wooden planks and posts with carvings after imperial fashion. Used extensively in imperial furniture.
Small and medium-sized ships.
Wooden kitchenware.
Human resources:
Nords offering themselves as mercenaries or ships crew.
