About This Item

Volcanic rocks are named according to both their chemical composition and texture.

In the Hawaiian Religion, Pele is the goddess of fire, lightning, wind and volcanoes.  Her home is believed to be the fire pit called Halema'uma'u Crater, at the summit caldera of Kilauea, one of the Earth's most active volcanoes; but her domain encompasses all volcanic activity on the Big Island of Hawaii. Every incident with a volcanic eruption in Hawaii it is said to be Pele's way of expressing her longing to be with her true love, in many stories a young chief named Lohiau, but she's a fickle and dangerous lover who sometimes kills her husbands.  Taking volcanic rock from the Big Island is considered an insult to Pele and legend has it you will meet with disaster for commiting this offense.

    Black Lava Rocks has certainly gotten far north of its goal of Hawaii - sorry we don't have any lava rocks up here in the far northwoods of Wisconsin. We're posting a couple pics, though, to show where we've been letting the TB visit on our caching trip today. Enjoy!

    • Visiting the beach - brown, not black sand
    • Finally a warm spring day in Minocqua, WI! It's been a long, cold winter in Wisconsin. This is the first nice day in weeks! A couple folks took advantage of the 68 degree temps to test the water for the first time (still REALLY cold!) before the predicted snow in a couple more days!
    • Not beach weather here! There is still ice on the bigger lakes in northern Wisconsin - no black lava rocks to be seen in this neck of the woods!
