Abstract:
More than 300 different minerals have been found in North Carolina, earning its name as the \"Mineral Showcase of America.\" The abundance of minerals available throughout the state encouraged the hobby of \"rockhounding\" or mineral collecting. Many of these enthusiasts gathered recently in Asheville for the 8th annual International Gem and Mineral Show of the Eastern Federation of Mineral Societies.
