Abstract:
In North America emeralds of gem-quality are found only in our state. Among emerald hunters James Hill, Jr., of Hiddenite, is one of the most successful. Though gem hunting has left him $200,000 in debt and possibly cost him two marriages, Hill is digging up emeralds that geologists say are among the finest in the world.
