Another story piece emerging as I do a dance with Pele, the godess of fire.

Limu collected in a situation that is fairly rare is being transformed into “gemstones”. This very fine glass/ash is created when lava hits the ocean. Normally it doesn’t survive the wind, or other surfaces that it comes into contact with, but a chance moment on the deck of a cruise ship, with the help of some family members in collection mode, and I have a little bit of the stuff that I have preserved by encasing it in resin.

It is wonderful stuff.

More scientific info can be found here.
