Gemstone Beach

Description

This beautiful beach near South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii is almost unique in the world: look carefully at the beach, the color is right. It is a green sand beach! There are only a few in all the world. The sand is composed almost exclusively of olivine, which is also known as the gemstone peridot. A beach of gems!

Beautiful my friend! My wife and I were out there a few months back for our anniversary. We actually drove the rental Jeep instead of hiking it. That was AWESOME! What a beautiful place!
