1826 W. Ellis Narr. Tour Hawaii ix. 224 We also found a quantity of volcanic glass drawn out into filaments as fine as human hair, and called by the natives Rauoho o Pélé, (hair of Pélé).]

1844 C. Wilkes Narr. U.S. Exploring Exped. IV. 129 One of the remarkable productions of this crater is the capillary glass, or, as it is here called, ‘Pele's hair’.

1861 H. W. Bristow Gloss. Mineral. 276 Pélé's Hair, lava blown by the wind..into hair-like fibres.

1910 Science 18 Nov. 717/2 Its sides, especially at the northeast or windward end, were tufted with Pele's hair, which was perpetually being formed from the lava projected into the air.

1983 Science 5 Aug. 546/3 Fine glassy threads (Pele's hair) were identified in the interstices of cinders from the younger beds.

2. Pele's tears n. (with plural agreement) small drops of volcanic glass, usually tear-shaped or spheroidal, to which are attached strands of Pele's hair.
