Hawaiite lava (the rock type, not the so-called "hawaiite" variety of olivine).
(Hawaiite results from fractionation of olivine basalt, and is relatively enriched in Si, Na, K and some trace elements.)

Honokaʻa is a census-designated place (CDP) in the Hamakua District of Hawaiʻi County, Hawaiʻi, United States.

Honokaʻa is located on the north side of the island of Hawaiʻi at 20°4′39″N 155°27′51″W (20.077617, -155.464074). Hawaii Route 19 runs through the southern part of the community, leading southeast 42 miles (ca. 68 km) to Hilo and west 14 miles (ca. 23 km) to Waimea. Hawaiʻi Route 240 branches off Route 19 and runs through the center of Honokaʻa, then continues west 8 miles (ca. 13 km) to its terminus at the Waipiʻo Valley lookout.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.3 km²), all of it land.
