class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Not only is it illegal to remove anything from a national park, but it is just unwise to trifle with Pele, the volcano goddess of Hawaii. A legend, referred to as Pele&#39;s Curse, says that visitors who take rocks or sand away from Hawaii will suffer bad luck until the native Hawaiian elements are returned.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-bring-home-black-sand-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you bring home black sand from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>And that&#39;s a very risky endeavor, as taking sand from any beach in Hawaii is punishable by fines upwards of $100,000. This includes Papakolea Beach, also known as Green Sands Beach, and Punalu&#39;u Beach, which is famous for its black volcanic sands. This issue stretches far beyond the beaches of Italy and Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-black-sand-from-hawaii-beaches\"><\/span>Can you take black sand from Hawaii beaches?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>During a volcanic eruption, enough lava can interact this way with the ocean that a new black sand beach can form literally overnight. It is illegal in Hawaii to take lava rocks and sand from the beautiful beaches on any of the islands.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-bring-back-sand-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I bring back sand from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is against federal law to remove rocks from a national park, and against state law to take sand from any Hawaii beach.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-illegal-to-take-black-sand\"><\/span>Is it illegal to take black sand?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The beach is noticeably less pink than it used to be due to humans snagging a little souvenir. While this may sound excessive and possibly even amusing, taking sand is illegal from beaches all over the world.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-can-you-not-bring-back-from-hawaii\"><\/span>What can you not bring back from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Common Items from Hawaii NOT ALLOWED into the U<br \/> Mainland or Alaska<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-ok-to-take-shells-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Is it OK to take shells from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Second, some people think it is illegal to remove rocks or sea shells from the shore in Hawaii. According to the Division of Land and Natural Resources, taking small amounts of sand, dead coral, rocks or other marine deposits for personal, noncommercial use is allowed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-if-you-take-sand-from-hawaii\"><\/span>What happens if you take sand from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A legend, referred to as Pele&#39;s Curse, says that visitors who take rocks or sand away from Hawaii will suffer bad luck until the native Hawaiian elements are returned. However, while Pele is the source of a number of legends, Pele&#39;s Curse is a relatively modern invention.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-bring-lava-rocks-home-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I bring lava rocks home from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Did you know there is a long-running legend about not taking lava rock or sand away from Hawaii? Many visitors to Hawaii have found this out the hard way. Not only is it illegal to remove anything from a national park, but it is just unwise to trifle with Pele, the volcano goddess of Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-take-dead-coral-home-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I take dead coral home from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No. In Hawai&#39;i, it is unlawful to take, break or damage, any stony coral, including any reef or mushroom coral (HAR 13-95-70), except as otherwise authorized by law by a Special Activity Permit for scientific, educational, management, or propagation purposes (HRS 187A-6).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-take-rocks-and-shells-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can you take rocks and shells from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Can You Take Rocks from Hawaii? Just like with seashells, taking rocks from Hawaii in small amounts for your personal use is permitted by the Division of Land and Natural Resources. But again, you&#39;re not allowed to sell any of the rocks that you&#39;ve collected from Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-i-take-my-lei-home-from-hawaii\"><\/span>Can I take my lei home from Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Those flower lei from your friend&#39;s Hawaii wedding?

Two of the main reasons you won&#39;t find seashells on the beach here in Hawaii are: the isolation of the islands and the slope of the beaches. If one is diving or snorkeling far off shore, you will see seashells. These of course are homes to living animals and shouldn&#39;t be taken.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-airport-security-detect-coral\"><\/span>Can airport security detect coral?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Live corals in water and a clear transparent container are allowed after inspection by the TSA officer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-you-keep-coral-found-on-the-beach\"><\/span>Can you keep coral found on the beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Eventually, the dead creature will get broken down into thousands of pieces that are going to &#39;become&#39; the beach. With that being said, if there is no law in the area that makes collecting dead corals illegal, you can totally take one or a few as a souvenir.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-ok-to-take-dead-coral-from-the-beach\"><\/span>Is it OK to take dead coral from the beach?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As a general rule, do not remove dead coral pieces from the beach as souvenirs. In many locations, collecting coral is strictly prohibited and you might get a hefty fine.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-a-dead-coral-come-back-to-life\"><\/span>Can a dead coral come back to life?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dead Reefs Can Come Back To Life, Study Says Rising water temperatures and increasing ocean acidity can kill coral reefs. But a new study finds that dead reefs can potentially recover from catastrophes if ocean temperatures stabilize. Some scientists say the resiliency of coral reef may be the key to their survival.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-much-is-coral-worth\"><\/span>How much is coral worth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>How Much Do Corals Sell For? Excellent examples of coral have recently sold for tens of thousands of dollars, with some of the most exquisite antique pieces fetching upwards of $100,000.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-owning-coral-illegal\"><\/span>Is owning coral illegal?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The US: It is illegal to harvest (with the exception of the highly regulated Hawaiian black corals) or to export any corals from the US. The Lacey Act imposes civil and criminal penalties on a federal level for taking, possessing, transporting, or selling corals (and other wildlife) that have been taken illegally.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-black-coral-illegal-in-the-us\"><\/span>Is black coral illegal in the US?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Though it is illegal to move black corals across international borders without authorization, as they are listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), it is still possible to buy them.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-black-coral-valuable\"><\/span>Is black coral valuable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When the main trunk is wider, longer, more branches, etc, good solid black color with no problems the price can go upwards of $20. Select pieces that are cut for specific purposes can be worth $2-5. Antipatharian coral of same size and quality can go upwards of several hundreds of dollars.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-can-you-tell-if-black-coral-is-real\"><\/span>How can you tell if black coral is real?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The acetone test To test whether your coral bead was dyed, take a small cotton swab dipped in acetone and rub it across the gem&#39;s surface. If, after swabbing, the acetone-soaked tip has lifted some of the coral&#39;s color, the bead is artificial and has been dyed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-color-coral-is-most-valuable\"><\/span>What color coral is most valuable?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Red Coral<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-clean-black-coral\"><\/span>How do you clean black coral?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cleaning Coral It should be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth, and then rinsed in warm, soapy water.
