Emerald Bonanza Found By Amateur Diggers in North Carolina Mine
By Good News Network Thursday, April 05, 2012
Amateur diggers on a trip to the aging North American Emerald Mine in Hiddenite, N.C., struck gold last week -- actually, emeralds.
One couple had only been in the mine for five minutes before Kevin Barrieault flipped over a rock to find a 50.5-carat emerald.
The next day, another couple found a pocket of emerald crystals in the mine, which was newly opened to tourists by a man who wanted to earn income by letting people dig for gems.

Testimonials
I have a 7 year old son and we don't watch TV, listen to the news, or read newspapers because so much of it is negative and full of pain and hate -- things his little body does not need. I am SO thrilled to be able to show him stories on your Website and talk to him about the positive, Good work that is occurring here on Earth. You have given me a safe place where I can allow my son to browse and follow the stories that interest him. Thank you! - Esther Colwell
