Abstract:
Although new houses in the Brightleaf subdivision in Southeast Durham are pristine and new, the ownership of natural gas, oil, geothermal heat, hydrocarbons, and even water belongs to DRH Energy, a subsidiary of D.R. Horton, one of the nation's largest homebuilders. For the past two years, D.R. Horton has sold the mineral rights, and the right to drill, mine, stored and explore them to its Colorado-based energy company on at least 425 of its lots in Raleigh, Cary, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Coincidentally, the transactions began around the time the push began to legalize fracking in North Carolina.

Abstract:
The western mountains of North Carolina feel like home to those searching for gemstones. Due to the substantial mineral deposits, North Carolina has been called "Nature's Mineral Sample Case," yielding 300 varieties of minerals. The state leads in the production of feldspar and most gem varieties are found due to feldspar mining.
