GMS Field Trip
Staurolite in Georgia
Saturday, October 26, 2013
After we filled bags with trash and tummies with BBQ, members who participated in the Fall Adopt-a-Highway were treated with a trip to collect staurolite!
Small pieces were easy to find all over the site, but the best pieces took a little bit of digging.
While everyone else scratched and dug, Celesta enlightened me with her vast knowledge of fairy folk. We located several fairy communities and we even saw a dark fairy's many-legged mode of transportation!
Several nice pieces of staurolite found new homes that day. It was a great way to reward ourselves for all of the hard work keeping our mile clean!
