Relatively short, archaeological, history news from Jerusalem Post:
"Findings document Roman involvement in emerald mining in Egyptian desert"
‘Mons Smaragdus’ was the only place in Roman Empire where emeralds were found.

PO2 Russell "Russ" Lincoln Certainly would be interesting to find such a site and excavate it.
