Photograph of ancient stone markers on Kauai, located near the Royal Birthstones. Dark volcanic stones, weathered and uneven, rise from the red soil and green grasses in the foreground. Behind them, a sweeping view of lush green mountains stretches into the distance under dramatic gray storm clouds. The scene combines natural beauty with cultural significance, evoking a sense of sacred history and timeless presence in the Hawaiian landscape.
These ancient stone markers overlook Wailua Valley on Kaua‘i, located just beyond the Pōhaku Ho‘ohanau (Royal Birthstones) historic site.
