What would a space elevator on the moon be made out of?

Okay, so some space miners fly into space to get Helium-3, and then fly it back to earth to sell to non-space people. Flying into and off the earth is rather expensive, so they want to simply take an elevator into space, but they can't find anything big enough to build it off. Flying into and off the moon is less expensive, but still pricey. As it turns out, building elevators from the moon to space isn't too much of a problem, since it has less gravity!

What would a moon-to-space elevator be made of. How much material would be needed for one? How expensive would it be?
