The fabulous mineral wealth of the dead Sea, includes these estimates;
| Potassium chloride | 2,000,000,000 metric tons |
| Magnesium bromide | 980,000,000 metric tons |
| Sodium chloride | 11,000,000,000 metric tons |
| Magnesium chloride | 22,000,000,000 metric tons |
| Calcium chloride | 6,000,000,000 metric tons |
For practical purposes, the supply of potash may be considered inexhaustible.
At the 1925 price level, the dollar value of these fabulous resources was in excess of $1,000,000,000,000 — probably over double that figure at today's (1955) prices.
