Depends what you mean.  Like minerals and such?

Or do you mean something more real world and programming oriented?

Suggestion: make better (more descriptive) topic titles.

It varies depending on world-gen settings and individual locations. There's something on the order of one million individual diggable squares in each embark location, (assuming about one hundred squares in each dimension), and each non-soil square dug out can potentially yield a stone, but what percantage of these squares actually will yield stones depends on the skills of your miners, and which/how many of those stones will be gems and/or ores depends on how minerals were placed in world-gen.

Also, you can make unlimited boulders out of clay, provided of course that you have clay. And you can make unlimited obsidian out of water and magma, provided that you can get the two together in a controlled fashion.
