GMS Adopt-a-Highway Field Trip
Tiny Almandine Garnets in Georgia


After working diligently to clean up the GMS mile, adopt-a-highway trash pick-up volunteers were rewarded with a field trip to collect tiny garnets. Members collected gobs for grab bags, plus a few for their own collections.

Many thanks to the property owner for allowing us to visit this great place! Also, many thanks to field trip chair Charles Carter for arranging the trip and Juergen Poppelreuter for running the trip.
