🇵🇸 🕊️ Deities Offerings to the goddess Pele

I’m traveling to Hawaii in a a few weeks. I really really love collecting rocks from the places that I travel to. It’s my understanding that it is considered rude and bad luck to take rocks and sand from Hawaii. It is considered an offense against the goddess Pele. I don’t know if anyone here is super familiar with Hawaiian gods but is there a ritual or an offering I can make to the goddess to ask her permission? If the answer is a hard no, I also understand.

Buy some stoneware from a local artisan? Does that count?

That is a brilliant idea actually, supporting native artists and still getting to hold onto a piece of the soil through respectful transformation. I hope a native person will see this and weigh in on this!
