The Jacksonville Gem and Mineral Society had a scheduled field trip on Saturday, August 16
to Summerville, Georgia to collect lace seam agate. Only David and Jac Schacter and Mickey, Barbara, Rachel and Matthew Cecil attended.
We arrived at the site around 10:30 and after collecting a couple of buckets, we left around 12:30.

After collecting at the quarry, David and Jac went to town for lunch while we headed to
James H. (Sloppy) Floyd State Park for lunch. After eating and taking a short tour of the park, we headed back to Cartersville
to visit the Southeast Gem and Mineral Show. On Sunday, we got up early and went to collect colorful jasper at Mary Hill before heading back
to Jacksonville.
