Fieldtrip Report:

Lake Douglas, Tennessee
March 4th, 2006

Crystal I found with hematite inclusion, looks like blood inside the crystal.

Mud included crystal.

A few double terminated crystals.

We took a lunch break and then our member David Hale led us to a nearby location to collect geodes and more crystals.

There was plenty to be found, with a little time you can fill a bucket with these small quartz geodes, we also found banded chert, and large crystals.

Quartz crystals inside geode.

Largest geode I found, about 3" diameter.

After spending the afternoon collecting the geodes, I decided to give them a name, since they are almost all golfball size or smaller, I named them "Douglas Weeodes", get it, wee, small, weeode, ok, back to the report.

"Douglas Weeode"
