This is all EXTREMELY fancifull stuff to me, but......I've read of MANY accounts of tourists to Hawaii taking samples of lava rocks home with them, only to find themselves in a maelstrom of mis-fortune all of a sudden. The claim is that it offends the volcanic goddess PELE. Every year, the Hawaiian postoffice's recieve loads of boxes containing those same rocks from past tourists wanting those rocks out of there lives, and back where they came from !! That's a damn odd thing.
Just rocks ehhhh?
