Abstract:

This precious stone’s features perhaps need no hyperbole to underscore its importance in North Carolina. In the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences are four of the largest emeralds discovered in North America. Among these stones is the 64 carat Carolina Emerald, described as the largest cut emerald in North America.
