I took a small lava rock from the Big Island as a souvenir, but I heard it was bad luck. Can I return it?
Yes you can. Hawaiian legend has it that Pele, the goddess of fire, becomes enraged when stone or sand is taken from the Big Island, her aina (land), and sends misfortune upon the one who took it. You can return rocks and sand to: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park PO Box 52 Hawaii National Park, HI 96718-0052
