What is the Hawaiian word for diamond?

There isn't a single Hawaiian word for "diamond."

However, you could use a couple of options depending on the context:

* "Pohaku makamae" literally translates to "precious stone," and could be used to refer to a diamond.

* "Kilauea" refers to a volcanic crater, and since diamonds are formed under extreme heat and pressure, you could use it metaphorically to describe a diamond's origin.

Ultimately, the best way to convey the meaning of "diamond" in Hawaiian would be to describe its characteristics, such as its brilliance, hardness, or rarity.
