Abstract
The principal motivation of the Moslem peasants of southeastern Kalimantan, Indonesia, who engage in placer mining is the hope of finding a large, gem-quality diamond. The sale of the diamond allows the finder to make a pilgrimage (hajj) to Mecca. The returned pilgrim (haji) becomes a religious teacher who no longer has to engage in the labor of subsistence agriculture.
