JGMS field trips range throughout the southeastern US. From picnics in Mandarin Park, museum visits in Deland, Fl., rock collecting in Georgia and the Carolinas, to fossiling in Florida, the JGMS trips are always an enjoyable time. Join the JGMS to be able to attend our trips as well as ones hosted by the Dixie Mineral Council. Here is information on past and upcoming field trips. |

| The specimens above are ones that have been found at collecting sites where JGMS and the Dixie Mineral Council
have provided field trips. Several trips each year are scheduled throughout the southeastern United States. These trips are arranged in an effort to
educate the membership in the field of mineralogy and lapidary arts. One must be a member of the
JGMS or a Southeast Federation club that participates in the Dixie Mineral Council. See a report on Tucson 2005 |
