Idaho is a state in the northwestern United States. Idaho is the 14th largest state by area and the 39th most populous of the 50 states. The state's capital and largest city is Boise.

Idaho is one of only two places in the world (the other being Afghanistan) where star garnets can be found in any significant quantities, and the only place in North America where topaz and opal occur in their primary rock matrix. Idaho is sometimes called the "Potato State" owing to its popular commodity crop.
