On this West Virginia Morning, pearls are prized gemstones that have been crafted into jewelry for millennia. They can be found in the wild, but they’re also cultivated on farms. For the Appalachia + Mid-South Newsroom, Will Darnall reports from North America’s lone freshwater pearl farm located along Kentucky Lake in Tennessee.
Also, the West Virginia Legislature is stepping in to mitigate a financial crisis in Hancock County Schools, and a massive plant to transform coal into new products is coming to Mason County.
