Hunting For Emeralds In Hiddenite, North Carolina

Jamie Hill has been searching for emeralds in North Carolina all of his life.  An ancient pre-Cambrian fault has yielded one of the biggest deposits of emeralds in the world.  On the verge of bankruptcy, Hill struck gold (rather emeralds) in this huge emerald mine, and watch as he explores and digs out giant emeralds.  See the Carolina Princess, Carolina Queen, and  Jolly Green Giant an 858-carat emerald that sold for half a million dollars.
