I remember way back (too far back) when Hawaii produced tiki idol pendants that were made out of real sculpted lava rock. I had one for a while as a kid, and wore it (ah, the memories), and the thing was heavy, and one day it snapped the string and disappeared.

A couple of years later I bought another one, only to find that it was strangely lightweight. The darn thing was made out of plastic...because the sale of Hawaiian lava rock items had been outlawed. Well, I'm glad this happened (it was bound to eventually), but I wish I had kept that original pendant in a safe place...
