Translucent Apache Tear Brown Obsidian (M9950)SOLD!As legend goes, these stones were formed after the American cavalry chased Apache warriors to their death. The Apache women's tears of grief turned into these dark stones as they dropped on the sand. Apache Tears are actually a form of volcanic glass and are in the obsidian family. They are usually very dark brown to black and polished to a glassy finish. These apache tears are completely unpolished, pockmarked with some quartz or matrix, but they are generally smooth to the touch. Hold them up to the light and you’ll see they are deep translucent brown. They have a profound grounding energy, much deeper than black obsidian, yet they don't bog you down. They help you to appreciate all that Earth energies have to offer and realize that spirit is all around us. They have a soothing energy working to release locked emotions and are good used to overcome grief or extreme shock or trauma. They lend strength and stamina and gently boost your vital energy. These stones are usually found in the Southwestern states of the US and Mexico. There is a long "window" on one side of the stone, that is a smooth gouge mark. It allows you to see into the stone and the glowing translucency of the interior.
The stone measures 1.6" x 1.1" x 0.6" and weighs 1 oz. |
