I experienced the same thing on the Canarian island of Lanzarote recently, 
where I talked to several rangers of the National Park there about the means of 
protection of the (volcanic) islands natural treasures. They had their very own 
but anyway true arguments ("...if everyone of the about 2 mio annual tourists 
here on the island would take away just one bigger olivine stone, what would 
you think this island would look like in just a couple of years?"). I can 
understand that. 

So always be careful what you do, and know the rules in the fields. In our 
lifes we are here only for a couple of decades, but natural things need to be 
preserved. With our lifes we have different, much smaller scales of time than 
nature has to develop, which has always to be kept in mind.
