Apache Tears

Apache Tears are a sub group, a type of obsidian. Not quite the same, but both are a volcanic glass and black in color. Obsidian is a very powerful and rough stone. Apache tears are more gentle in their affect. Both are good for emotional cleansing, especially useful in situations where grief and sadness are found. Apache Tears have a special connection to the mythology of the Apache culture and the ability to recover from grief. Because of their mythological origin as the tears of suffering women and children, Apache tears are a deeply empathetic stone that can help you through struggles gracefully and gently. Virtually everyone has felt at times as if they wish that they could hide from bad luck that seems to plague them – and that’s precisely what Apache Tears and similar stones with these anti-negativity properties will allow you to do!
