I heard about a beach on the Big Island of Hawaii that was absolutely green with gemstones, so I had to go check it out. What I found was mind blowing. Millions upon millions of green gemstones known a Peridot. Most were very small, but many were big enough to collect. This trip has been a dream of mine ever since I heard of this beach, and I was SO happy to be able to go check out the green beach of the Big Island of Hawaii in person. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone.
Green sand beach is officially known as Papakōlea.

*Note* If you visit this beach you must leave all the sand for other to enjoy. Take pictures, take video, take memories, but do not take sand!

If you want some peridot for yourself, I sell peridot bags and crystals on my website from my local claims.
