What is Georgia's symbol?

Answer 1

# # Bird- In 1970, the Brown Thrasher became the state bird of Georgia. Much like the Green Tree Frog,this animal, too was chosen by students. The Brown Thrasher can be found in neighborhoods and fields throughout Georgia. These birds eat lots of different things, like bugs, small animals, fruit and nuts. Brown Thrashers have long curved beaks that help them find food.

# Crop- Did you know that nearly half of the peanut crop in the United States is grown right here in Georgia? Georgia has 14,418 farms with peanuts and about 5,000 active farmers. Sylvester Georgia is the peanut capitol of the world!!!! The peanutwas adopted as our state crop in 1995.

# Fruit- Undoubtedly the most famous and well known of all the Georgia State Symbols, the Peach became the official state fruit in 1995. Georgia has been called the Peach State for quite some time because of the delicious peaches that are grown here!

# Gem- In 1976, Quartz was chosen as the official state gem. The gem is quite common in our state and can be found in a variety of colors. The resolution making it the state gem cited two particular forms: the amethyst, which is mostly used in jewelry and the clear quartz, which, when faceted, resembles the diamond.

# Insect- The Honeybee is not only the state insect of Georgia, but its also the state insect of Kansas, Arkansas, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont and Wisconsin!! Quite a popular insect!! The honeybee was chosen as our state insect in 1975 because of its contributions to Georgia through honey production and helping with agriculture pollination.

# Marine Mammal- In 1985, Georgia adopted a state Marine Mammal, the Right Whale. By far the most delicate of our state symbols, there are only about 300 Right Whales left in the world. The Right whale is the only whale that is native to Georgia waters. Even though this animal is now on the endangered species list, human actions still pose a serious threat to it. Many whales have washed up on shores after being hit and killed by passing boats.

# Mineral- In 1976, it was decided by the General Assembly that Staurolite would be Georgia's state mineral. Staurolite is more commonly known as "Fairy Crosses" or "Fairy Stones." These unique crossed crystals are quite common in Northern Georgia and have been collected as good luck charms for many years.

# Tree- The Live Oak has been around since the first settlers of Georgia came here. They are especially abundant on Georgia's coast and islands. It became the official State Tree in 1937. The natural curves of these trees made them ideal for ship building during the early days of Georgia's settlement.

# Vegetable-Our state's official vegetable, the Vidalia Onion, is internationally known as the "world's sweetest onion." The interesting thing about these onions is that when the seeds are planted anywhere other than the areas surrounding Vidalia and Glennville they produce a normal hot onion. In fact, onions grown anywhere else in the world cannot be called Vidalia Onions- the name is attached to the location in which it is grown.
