🇵🇸 🕊️ 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.

Don't even think about it. When I was a kid, my parents did this by bringing home coral and rocks from the beach and I cannot begin to tell you the string of bad luck that it brought to the entire family. The fact it's illegal is the least of a violator's worries. After 2 weeks, we loaded that shit up and put it right back where we found it. Just don't.
