Apache Tears are a type of black Obsidian with rich lore behind them. The legend of this stone comes from a battle between approximately 75 Apaches and a large US calvary that fought on a mountain in what is now known as Superior, Arizona. The Apaches were outnumbered and unarmed. Rather than be held as captives, they climbed the mountain and died by their own accord. The wives and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the tragedy; their tears turned into stone upon hitting the ground. Its potential to clear negative energy, provide protection, help overcome sorrow, and relieve stress, Apache Tears are an all around powerful healing tool!
