Review

Stevens captures the drama of some of the best of these finds with a polished and perceptive writing style. His interviews with the miners, gem cutters, artisans and collectors who make up the "gem scene" make you feel as if you're right at their workbench, kitchen table or looking over their shoulder as a blast is touched off. -- Douglas Watts, Maine Times, October 14, 1994

Stevens captures the drama with a polished and perceptive writing style. The result is a window of the world of mining in Maine. -- Maine Times, November 1997 --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
