grey's girl Posted January 31, 2008 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Somewhere...I read about buying black(?) lava jewelry...possibly in St. Lucia. Has anyone heard of this??? and yes, I have done a search (both Ports of Call board and this one) and nothing came up. This is driving me crazy!!

KandCsailing Posted January 31, 2008 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Sorry, No I have not heard of black lava jewelry. Are you sure it wasn't the black coral jewelry by Bernard K. Passman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko7 Posted January 31, 2008 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Black Coral jewelery is very popular in Hawaii since it is rare and not easy to find. Gecko7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammymacb Posted January 31, 2008 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My guess is also black coral. There is some available in Grand Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey's girl Posted January 31, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted January 31, 2008 No, it wasn't black coral. I know how pricey that can be...and when I read "lava", I thought that was something very different, possibly a reasonable price and would be available at one of our ports this cruise. Thanks though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser from MS Posted January 31, 2008 #9 Share Posted January 31, 2008 There is a market at the pier and I bought mine from one of the vendors there. They are located behind the shops in the pier area. (flea market area) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keene state mom Posted January 31, 2008 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2008 They are cheap, about $ 5.00-$ 7.00 each. They come in different colors, the black ash, then some pink yellow or green beads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suseg Posted January 31, 2008 #11 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I've never heard of it, but it does sound interesting. Does anyone have any pictures? BTW I thought black coral was considered endangered and not allowed to be brought into the US, am I wrong about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
