Rockhounding is a hobby for some and a business for others. We tag along with Experimental Chemist and Researcher Al "Owl" Falster as his group hunts for gems and minerals at Emmons Quarry. These rock hounders found a new mineral at Emmons called tantalowodginite.
Borealis is made possible by the generous support of The Nature Conservancy Maine, The Maine Office of Tourism, Poland Spring, Evergreen Home Performance, The Conservation Fund, and viewers like you!
