Taking Volcanic Souvenirs Is Prohibited

It's common for people to bring back souvenirs from their vacation, and while people who travel to Hawaii can take back coconuts, pineapples, and anything else they desire - it's prohibited to take back volcanic souvenirs. This is an official law, and Hawaiians urge visitors to abide by this rule as it's believed that taking volcanic pumice stones or rocks from the many volcanic parks on the islands will bring them back luck.

Although some reckless visitors do break this rule, park officers often receive these stolen stones in the mail when people realize that the rumors of bad luck may be true.
