Kilauea Volcano Eruptions are Raining Green Gems on Hawaii's Big Island

The eruptions of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano have rained tiny green gems known as olivines onto the island's streets and beaches.
The minerals are found in volcanic rocks and land around Hawaii.
They have always been there but have been dislodged by the recent eruptions and are coming shooting down on residents as a result.
Some have collected the minerals from beaches and streets since they were spurted out and say it is proof of the wonders of nature.

Wish St. Helens would have done the same but it was a different kind eruption in 1980.
All we got was ash...
