Myles don't get too down, Hawaii is volcanic and a source of peridot.
The good thing about a bit of gold withdrawal depression is that your eyes are usually pointing to the ground.
Had my boys searching for peridot in every place we went to, we found a few small ones on just about every island and some trapped in natural rock in the lava flow areas. Nothing to write home about but they had fun and I enjoyed researching the possibilities while the better half went shopping.
Was keen to buy her a cut and set one as a takeaway but the ones in the shops are all from the mainland, local stone too soft apparently.
