Returns Green Stone—Because the visiting Maoris from New Zealand declined to be initiated on Sunday into the Hale o na Alii, Princess Kawananakoa returned to the Maoris the beautiful green New Zealand stone which they had presented her at her reception in their honor.

My grandfather David Kualii Hoapili Jr was also gifted a Maori greenstone currently in my posession. Would be interested in learning any significance.
