Pele hawaiian goddess

Peles tears

In Hawaii many beaches are of black sand as it is really lavasand. 

I picked these Tears up close to the Volcano. Our travelling guides was geologists but they also knew about the tales in Hawaii. 

When I was there visitors was allowed to walk in the crater with a guide. As the volcano was dormant. Today it is active and noone is walking enywere near it.


PELE story
Wikipedia: Pele's tears, like Pele's hair, are named after Pele, the Hawaiian fire goddess of volcanoes.



Pele's tears (closest Hawaiian translation: "nā waimaka o pele") are small pieces of solidified lava drops formed when airborne particles of molten material fuse into tearlike drops of volcanic glass. Pele's tears are jet black in color and are often found on one end of a strand of Pele's hair. Pele's tears is primarily a scientific term used by volcanologists.

    Oh I want to visit Pele. She is top on my travel list. We were going to go in 2020, and then thanks to covid, we didn't. I love your Pele inspired page, and I'm glad you joined us at AJJ Monica. Hope your weekend is going well. Hugs-Erika
