The MAGMA club had an awesome two days out in eastern NC last week!

We started off at one of our favorites, the Glendon pyrite mine. Many beautiful specimens of pyrite and fluorite were collected. It had looked like rain for a few days before the trip and even the day of the trip, but we lucked out and no rain. It was actually pretty dry and everyone had a great time. Despite the nasty weather forecast, we still had well over 100 people show from our list of 120.
