Why Are There 96,000,000 Green Gem Stones On This Beach!

- 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 concentrate with a gem sieve. 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.

I am amazed at how many superstitious people there are. Just for future reference, I do not believe in curses, ghosts, supernatural, Santa, the Easter bunny, big foot, that Elvis is still alive or anything else science does not have good evidence for. I am not saying other should not believe, that is their choice. And I was searched by both USDA and Customs on my way out of Hawaii. As I said in the description, take pictures, take video, take good memories, but leave the sand.
Hey! I believe Elvis is hanging out With Bigfoot!
Did you take rocks?
I have been face to face with Bigfoot on Sexton Pass Grants Pass, Oregon in 1981. Prior to that I would of agreed with you, after that not so much. Well Elvis, Santa, and Easter bunny I am still in your court.
The superstition of not removing lava rocks from the Hawaiian islands can be traced back to a National park ranger when the park was having issues with people stealing rocks out of the National Park. We love the big island my grandfather first moved there in the early 70s. He was a geologist by training. My grandma still lives in the subdivision that had the lava come up in it in 2018.
@@jaredmitts5203 I learned about it on and episode of the Brady Bunch ;]~
Green sand beach is officially known as Papakōlea. The beach itself is carved in a 49.000 years old cinder cone belonging to the Mauna Loa volcano that contains the green crystals (olivines) that give the beach its name. You can read more about this in the green sand trivia section further below
Lol copy and paste
Were you there 49000 years ago?
@@falsefreedom1713 yes, you werent? you missed out man it was LIT
@@falsefreedom1713 do you have more than 2 brain cells?
where i can see the green? i always see yellow. is it a bad camera? i dont have green red problems...
The biggest kid on the beach! So much enthusiasm and focus. It truly is contagious. Thanks, Dan. ☺️
Watching Dan amass more and more people to watch him makes me so happy. I know for a fact he made their day way more fun.
I don't often shoot videos around many people, it was fun, but a bit unnerving having people watch me film.
I know he's come so far
he said gemstones. people see dollar bills
I hope dan doesn't really mean for people to collect this sand when he said "Millions upon millions of green gemstones known a Peridot. Most were very small, but many were big enough to collect..." First of all, leave them there for future generations to enjoy. Secondly, good luck with taking stuff as the legend of Pele' is real folks! Just ask the many people who wanted to bring a souvenir home and eventually wondered why something went wrong in their life. My husband used to spend our vacations looking through a camera lens. I used to say, "take a picture with your heart." I say the same thing with souvenirs- keep it in your heart.
He has over a million subs.
You're trying to hard to get his attention.
Dan's wife: "You need a holiday. WE need a holiday."
Dan: "Will it include gemstones?"
Dan's wife: **sigh** "Sure."

🤣🤣🤣
Was there ever any doubt what vacation meant for Dan?
I’m sure Dana has had some nice pieces of jewelry crafted with all the gems Dan finds and tumbles. Such a nice way to document good memories
These Are the Only Green-sand Beaches in the World
Papakolea Beach in Hawaii.
Talofofo Beach in Guam.
Punta Cormorant in Ecuador.
Hornindalsvatnet in Norway.
Thanks man. 👍
I never comment but this channel truly is the best. Just a man excited and extremely happy with his passion. Nothing more beautiful than that!
I went to that area (not that exact beach) years ago and there were lots spots where the olivine was still embedded in the lava rock in big chunks. It was probably a less popular spot, because I didn't get driven in I just ran along the coast for a mile or two until I saw green sand. No one else was around. Pretty cool though. The green crystal growing out of black rock made it look like a kryptonite prop for a Superman movie.
I believe it was Chanpagne Ponds. I was in this place, but I heard the last eruption arased the place =[
I found also biig cristal (big as half nail size) of olivine
Galapagos Islands has a peridot beach as well. Completely blew my mind when I walked on it. It hasn't been scavenged like this beach has, so the particles were larger.
Just when I thought Hawaii couldn’t get any more amazing! Peridot had a special place in my heart, it is so joyful like the newest growth in spring. I would be rolling in it with glee!
🤩 Peridot, my birth stone. I’m so glad I just found you! I didn’t know about that beach so I guess whenever I make my bucket list trip to Hawaii, a visit to this beach is in order!
Olivine/peridot is pretty much the only gem you'll find in Hawaii because the islands are so new. I used to play on a green sand beach as a kid growing up there and never thought it was unusual.
This video and all your other ones absolutely blow me and the family away every time. We love what you do and truly truly hope you get to 1 million before new years. You absolutely deserve it sir!!!
You are so kind
FYI: It used to be amazing and a green beach. As you can see when they pan out it's no longer green, because the locals and tourists trucked it away by the bucket full leaving not much left. To attempt to stop any further damage they made it illegal to take anything but the damage is done.
On the bright side, there’s a handful of beaches a little further down in each direction still loaded with olivine that even very few locals know about. I myself wouldn’t have known either if not for the fact that my friend is a pilot for paradise helicopters
@@iamking7579 and now everyone knows. Well done
@@williampark6103 I could tell you exactly where they are and you’ll never get to them 😂
Yet the beach is there in this video only two months old?
@@Totalinternalreflection The beach in the video is black.
Sure...when you pan in you can see some green within the black. It literally used to be green like something out of a Starwars/alien world movie, aka solid green.
Great video Dan! I need to go to this beach one day! Looks like fun!
Hi Jake! it was well worth the trip. I would love to go back some day. If you ever go.........
Hi dallmyd
wow the man himself is here
I smell a collab.
@@Danhurd boss, you need some UV proof clothing. Definitely invest in some!! Way easier than sunscreen. Used it for hiking sun blasted mountains all the way to super hot beaches. There's different kinds. Do your research though, some are garbage. If the price looks too good then it's probably not real. Ask your dermatologist about brands (I forget the exact brands it's been like 8 years since I bought mine and the tags wore off, but I remember getting a pamphlet after getting cancer and I said screw it I'll buy).
Dear Dan,
I have been following you for about 2 years. I have to tell you that I absolutely love your adventures and I absolutely love your content. You are always so full of information and intelligent subjects. I can honestly say, I have never seen a boring episode of your adventures. I love ya buddy and never get tired of living vicariously through you. Thank you my brotha, and keep the good times rolling! Have a very Merry Christmas for you and yours!
Thank you so much
DAN I hope you told folks that it's illegal on Big Island,and on any of the Hawaiian Islands, to remove sand from any beach in the islands.
I just didn't want people to start decimating that beach while trying to harvest peridot. In fact,I wouldn't recommend to any visitor to remove anything from beaches here in Hawaii. Just ask the Tourism Bureau,who receives hundreds of lava rocks every year,mailed back,with apology notes after those who illegally removed them began to experience extremely bad luck!
Please have respect for Our Lands! Come enjoy,experience,with all blessings,but take home only your pictures please! Aloha!
As a kid, we took an excursion to Salt Lake on Oahu where we picked olivine. I didn't appreciate gemstones then.
I was also wondering about taking olivine from the Big Island. Now I know it would be like lava rocks. Thanks for educating us.
Yes Sir ! ❤️
I love your weekly geology lessons, Dan! Thanks for another cool video! 🙂👍
My pleasure!
Awesome video Dan! That beach was so beautiful with the peridot sand. Thanks for sharing it with all of us!
My pleasure!
I love visiting Hawaii, the Green Sand Beach was one of the more memorable places I've had the privilege of experiencing. There's also a black sand beach about an hour or so drive away to the west that's known for having lots of sea turtles.
Yes, the beaches are amazing
Wow...black sand and adorable turtles...how neat
Love this!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Your videos are varied and unique. Keep ‘‘em coming Dan.
Born and raised on the big island. I am also a native Kanaka Maoli. Your video is educational and I watch your gold videos. Green sand beach used to be "greener" but a lot of tourists took a lot off the beach.
In my early 20s I used to work as a volunteer at Hawaii volcano national park. Tourists would ship back rocks they took from the area and asked if we could return them. On average we would get 112 shipped rocks with letters attached. In fact we had a department dedicated for this lol. A lot of people told stories about the strange things that happened to them.
I was in Hawaii with my parents in the 1960's (around 10 years old), and to this day I still have a small vial of that green sand. To the best of my recollection, we didn't go to that beach - I think it was sold to us as a souvenir. Nothing strange has ever happened.
@@lschoenrank
I think people had issues with the rocks and not the sand from green sand beach
I've had the immense pleasure of venturing to that beech. I recognized the bluff and the massive green slope immediately & hope to make it back some day. Top 3 Fave places I've ever been!
Absolutely
Awesome episode Dan! Every time I watch your channel or The Crystal Colletor, I am in Awe of the gifts Mother Nature has given us. For someone like myself who yearns to do the exploring and digging you do, I am not able to afford or physically able to anymore. That is why your channel is such a gift to me and so many others in my situation. You make us feel we are right there and can feel your excitement too.
This beach is beyond unbelievable to me. I never had heard of it and your explanation of the process of how it came to be is so interesting. I am going to look up your more in-depth video about the geological process.
Thank you to you and Daina for what you do. Your success has been a long time coming and well deserved!
The passion he has is so pure nothing but good vibes
Hi,I hope you informed people that it is illegal in the state of Hawaii to remove sand from any beach in the islands. I wouldn't encourage any visitor to Hawaii to take anything from our beautiful landscapes. In fact I would strongly warn against moving,or removing anything from Hawaii,it has been known to go very badly for anyone who has done this in the past. Just ask the Hawaii Bureau of Tourism. They receive literally hundreds of lava rocks each year mailed back,with letters of apologies,after those who illegally removed them,experienced extreme bouts of "bad luck". There is a legend which says that Pele,the Volcano Goddess,herself jealously guards all rocks and stones in Hawaii.
That being said,you can decide for yourselves,are you feeling lucky?
By all means come to Hawaii,enjoy our beautiful beaches,swim in our beautiful ocean,experience our rich culture. But when you leave,please,take only your pictures,not our flora or fauna with you. Mahalo,Aloha
The earth is a gift from God (who is one) to mankind. Not some evil spirit who wishes to take it for themselves and subject everyone to doctrines of demons and a spirit of fear. Jesus is enough.
@@jennifermorgan1837 Still a respectful practice not to take things from beautiful places. If everyone took sand there would be no magnificent peridot beach left. Respecting beauty enough to allow it to remain and not feel the need to possess or own it. Also just respecting someone else's home and country.
@@jennifermorgan1837 As someone who is a Christ follower and also someone who lives in Hawaii...I do see what you're coming from and everything you say is true. BUT at the same time, @hawaiiansnowwhite is also telling the truth. You could take home some sand, and I don't think anything will happen to you, but there are people who have sent back lava rocks and wanted nothing to do with those. As a Christian, I don't even see the need to take those things. Why would you want to take something that has a demonic tie to it? Ancient Hawaiians have done ancient ritualistic practices for centuries. I don't think it's anything to be afraid of as a Christian, but I wouldn't intentionally dabble in it either.
Thank you for sharing this, I was wondering if visitors are allowed to take a tiny bit with them. If I ever go I'll remember not to :)
@@jennifermorgan1837 what a selfish perspective
How fun! Hawaii is gorgeous! Thanks for taking us with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is such a interesting piece. Here I was just taking the dog because I had to go myself and run into this. You just picked up a mew subscriber LOL laugh out loud I LOVE IT
Wonderful!
Mahalo for visiting our beautiful Island of Hawaii! Mahalo nui loa! 🌺🙏🏾🤙
I live near this green sand beach and yes you can see through the green Semi precious crystal’s on the beach ... It is beautiful !
Diamond head is named that because the first white sailors arriving in Hawaii hundreds of years ago thought the crystal’s were diamonds ... (true)
Wouldn't that be nice
Is there a Hawaiian name for the gem?
You're an inspiration to me Dan and I've started learning more about geology and prospecting thanks to your videos. Keep up the amazing content!
Yes
I'm so glad to see that you're doing good and healthy and also being active! Love the videos! Have fun!!
Beautiful spot , love your channel ! I need a gold pan so bad for the summer :D
I just love watching Dan's videos! They're so informative, and he is a great teacher! Also peridot is my birthstone because I'm an August baby lol...cool to learn about it 🧚♀💖!
I was on the big island in April, and I wish I had known about this then. Might be a great reason to go back there some day. Always enjoy your videos Dan, so please keep them coming!
Yes
If you do go, please hike in. The amount of destruction that is happening cause of the locals using their trucks is crazy.
Very happy you followed the local culture and laws regarding taking rocks from Hawaii.
Beautiful place ❤️
Nice video share
I am enjoying your video 🙏
Nice video Dan. It looks gorgeous there. The Hawaiian Islands definitely have lots of things to do and see. The usual tourist highlights are great but sometimes it's more fun to go off track and discover the local stuff. Like the roadside Huli Huli Chicken stands.
For sure!
Awesome job Dan!
I found you back in January this year. Thanks for the year of content and hopefully many more to come! Happy Christmas to you and yours.
WOW 😮 looks beautiful ENJOY 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fun stuff man! What a blast! You are so very close to that 1M and it might hit before the new year woot!! 🤘 rock on
So close!
What a great video. I just have to say that you are my favorite nerd. I can't think of anyone who would go to Hawaii for a vacation and mine the beach. I'm sure glad that you did. This was an amazing video and I always learn something new when I watch you. Thank You my friend.
Wow, thank you!
Nice job Dan!😗 As always, Happy Holidays!
That is a beautiful beach! I've been on Oahu and Maui I didn't know about the peridot/olivine beach but it is my birthstone. TFS!
I've learned a lot from watching your videos! Thanks for the dedication and hard work!
Dan you have to go see the lava tubes at Hawaii national park!!! They're very very cool. I spent my first 6 years of life in Kona & have the scars on my knees from running (and falling) on lava rock to prove it! You also need to go see and explore tide pools, perhaps horseback ride in Waipio Valley (cool geology there!). I've always wanted to go see the green sand beach, thank you for taking us with you! My mom has a really beautiful Hawaiian sands art piece with the peridot making up a green sea turtle. I hope you have a BLAST! Not sure how the recent eruption will impact tho. The Big Island is literal paradise! Much love from Duluth, MN buried in over 2 feet of snow!
In Honolulu, Hawaii visiting grandbabies, and I think next time we visit, we will visit the Big Island and the beautiful green beach. Thank you for sharing!
I remember when I lived on Oahu and would go visit my Auntie on the Big Island and we went to the green sand beach. The sand was spectacular. The video doesn’t give it justice, but In real life the sand is brighter and shines a lot more in the sun than what is shown in the video.
You're like the teacher I never had but always wanted, your enthusiasm is catching and I learned a lot just from this video! Subscription earned! Also, if I may ask, did you major in geology/earth science or do you just know a lot of stuff about rocks and gems?
A degree wouldn't scratch the surface. This knowledge comes from a lifetime passion for shiny stuff :)
As a surfer of 44 years Hawaii has always been on my radar to visit however as an Aussie there are so many good waves here I'm still yet to explore but now that I know about the gem stone beach I really want to go!
All the rest of your Hawaiian holiday experience footage you took is amazing Dan. Thank you for sharing your adventures
This has been fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
Great and informative video Dan! Thanks for all your hard work.
I was showing this to my mom, she loves peridot. And as you explained some of the reasoning behind why there's so much peridot there, I realized that the area is just a giant gold pan!!
You have that right. It's the right shape.
While you’re there on the big island of HAWAII driving to the top of the nearly 14 thousand ft tall snow covered Mauna Kea mountain is recommended ... The summit road that is well maintained takes you above the clouds ... It’s another once in a lifetime experience ... The scientists up there will let you explore the telescope observatory’s at the top if they aren’t busy during the daytime .. The largest Telescope in the world is currently planned for the summit will be 90 ft in diameter and cost 3 billion dollars ... That telescope is currently planned for the summit but the local Hawaiians have been successful at blocking the summit road so construction equipment can’t reach the summit for a few years now ... I feel the telescope is for the GOOD of MANKIND and should be built ... But a handful of locals disagree because it’s sacred land at the summit ... Enjoyed your video Dan . 🤙 🌴 .
The top of the hill where they want to build is sacred to them and their religion.
So I don't blame the locals for being mad.
That telescope is not for the good of mankind. It's for the good of corporation. Don't you think we've had enough people in power trampling on sacred ground? You realize how much knowledge is lost when they do this? That's why humans are so lost . There are many other places to put a scope.
Actualy this view should be held on all lands regardless if anyone is there to defend its sanctity. So much old sites was found by opening new ground but in reality its their old ground . After the gate is open its too late!
@@ericwilliams1659 ill agree with the locals i mean there are much taller peaks than mauna kea especially in mainland usa tho not sure if the americans would really block the locals from entering the construction space
So what is the scope for and should not be built on sacred ground coming from a culture where our land was stolen and our way of life wiped out our language outlawed for a long time only starting to come back now and is now taught in schools I truly believe sacred land should be untouched
amazing! thanks for bringing us with you dan!
This place has been on my travel list for years now, great to see the actual potential!
Makes me happy to see you healthy and living your best Dan. God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas
Are there any rules/restrictions for collecting olivine from the beach?
Yes, don't do it. Leave nature like you found it so others can enjoy it too
To be clear, it's illegal.
It’s the only green beach in the world I believe..leave the beach alone. Being ruined already with massive traffic.
Woot, great video Dan. I'm glad you're able to write off your vacation.
Amazing video, Dan!!! Absolutely beautiful 😍
We were on Maui last summer and found a beach with Olivine mixed in the sand. It was a blast to pick out some of the larger crystals. I didn't know beaches like that existed until I researched what we were finding
I grew up on the Big Island from 1965-75, and my family used to camp at South Point for up to a month at a time. We would regularly hike over to Green Sand Beach. Back then, we never ever EVER saw another soul there.
A Green Peridot beach and a red Garnet river. Dans idea 💡 of a Christmas 🎄 video
LoL 😂
Yep...new item for my bucket list! Thanks for sharing!
The Peridot lava stone you showed reminds me of the "pudding stone" found all over the upper Great Lakes area. Found many of them while working up there
Interesting!
That's my turf up here in Thunder Bay. Lots of amethyst, some black sand beaches and other curious spots, there's also agate island near red rock. Ancient volcanics exposed by the glaciers. The last place I was checking had lots of lamprophyre and 20oz gold pulled out on a claim not far off. Most mineral deposits are hard rock around here. It's winter here now and we're under a good coat of snow. Always looking for new places to check out!
I think the really good looking stuff is more towards Sault Ste. Marie, Lake Huron and Michigan area
Please don’t take the shuttles if you are fit and able to hike. The “roads” are so rough because of all the shuttle traffic doing such damage to the landscape of that area. The shuttles are also of questionable legality, none of them are official. I’ve been there and the hike and beach are beautiful but it sucks to walk in almost 6 foot deep trenches carved by vehicles… Great video though, can’t wait to hear more about the geology!
Looks like a dream! My kind of vacation, the beach and gems. I never new there was such a beach. Thanks for taking us along.
Glad you enjoyed it
I came across your video and I'm ever so happy I watched. It was wonderful to see things I've never heard of, and learn new things that I didn't know existed. Thank you for bringing this to us. This ol 70 yr gal absolutely loves it! 😎👍
Hi Dan, I love your videos. You may not be superstitious, neither am I, but I grew up in Hawaii. If anyone spends more than a few weeks there you WILL have at least one unexplainable phenomenon happen to you, no matter your opinion or belief system or nonbelief. You learn not to mess with the spirits or bring home 'samples' from the islands. Ask anybody who has spent more than a bit of time on the islands- everyone has at least one story. I'm not judging, I'm just saying - and sharing my experience. Mele Kalikimaka!
I spent 2 months on kauai and had nothing happen to me, no unexplainable phenomenon. Only people prone to believe this stuff (whether they believe in it or not at that time is irrelevant, some people are inherently more likely to have odd but explainable experiences morph into ridiculous beliefs than others) have it happen to them.
@@rdizzy1 okay you're right I don't know anything I live under a rock this isn't real nothing is real reality is fake I'm a fake you're a fake were all fake life is an illusion lmao 🤣 your opinion doesn't mean a fn thing to me!
Only the weakest minded people believe in the supernatural. Everything that happens has a plausible explanation. It's just easier for people to blame fairytales. True reality is bland. There are no witches, wizards, goblins, ghosts, magic, voodoo, nothing. We live, we die. That is all there is.
Keren sekali tuan
Dem Varmints again, probably!
Beautiful location and fantastic geology lesson! I'd love to visit this beach in the future, thank you for sharing this!
I will never be able to afford to go there and do that, but I can live vicariously through you. This is a lovely video to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Those green gems are magnificent, the color of them is just glorious. Diamonds are not the most beautiful gem, these peridot sure give them a run for their money because of the beauty of their color. It's just phenomenal.
Agree. Diamonds are boring. I have rubies and sapphires.
Bad juju to take rocks out of Hawaii
Bad juju to imply someone did something wrong when the only evidence you have is a picture of a guy smiling holding his hands up.
😂
Bad juju to believe in juju
Maui will eat your soul?
J J, I like that you have a different opinion than the masses!
Looking forward to seeing the geo information. Xoxoxoxo
Wonderful beach...thank you
This was so interesting! And such beautiful scenery too. :)
Seeing you visit these places brings me back. Went to all these places when we went in 2016
😁👋👍👍👏👏💕🙏🏻
Thank you big time, for sharing your knowledge, experience and the beauty of Hawaii with us.
Great video Dan thanks for sharing
Congratulations on your more than 1 million followers! 🎉 I’ve just subscribed thanks so much for an awesome video
Beautiful beach and scenery! The skyline reminds me of your Picture Moon Stone!
I've thought about going on vacation to Hawaii over the years. After watching this video, I decided to go. My birth stone is peridot. I have had a fascination with peridot . I will definitely make this beach one of my destinations.
wow ur about to hit 1 mil! Ive been watching since the early days :))
It's the first time I have watched a video of you and i have to say that you spread a lot of positive energy. I can see you love what you are doing and that's entertaining me a lot! Keep on doing what you doing! 😊
Welcome to Hawaii! I watch your videos from Oahu. My wife and I hiked out to the green sand beach last year. The truck ride is the right call! A hui hou!
The drive to Papakōlea beach is just as interesting as the beach itself. Definitely a bucket list location for those interested.
Heading there next month. Thanks for the info. Will check it out
Thanks for sharing Dan very interesting
Thank you for taking us with you on this great adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the zeal and energy you bring into each video!
That's really cool Dan great video!
This was like a tv show. Awesome. I loved those close-ups :D
Soooo cool my dude!! Love your content and informed voice
Super neat! I was there before and never heard this. Thanks Dan!
Amazing video! I'm booking a ticket right away! Thanks, Dan!
Looking forward to that geology episode!!!!
It's so beautiful and makes me glad Peridot is my birthstone.
Thank you for showing us that. I always hoped one day I would get to visit Hawaii. I know now I won't and that is ok, but I loved seeing this video. I am sure in person the peridot made it look more lime green. That water is amazing. Thanks Dan! I look forward to seeing the video with volcanic nitty gritty. (Edit for spelling)
Beautiful country and fun to watch you dry sift the peridots
I enjoy your videos. ❤ they are very informative and also interesting. You have a very positive attitude and sense of adventure. You always brighten my day with your gems and yourself! You are also a gem!
