APACHE TEAR

MAIN PAGE

BACK




The apache tear, a variety of obsidian, is volcanic glass and is usually found in a vitreous form of black, black/clear, black/smokey/clear, black/mahogany, and occasionally black/violet or black/green. The shape is somewhat spherical with conchoidal markings. The following properties are in addition to those listed in the obsidian section.

The apache tear has been traditionally considered to be one of the tears of Native American women, mourning for the warriors driven from a cliff by the cavalry.

It has been used to comfort in times of grief. It metaphorically “sheds” the tears for one in times of sorrow, allowing for true understanding of the situation of distress in order to provide insight and acceptance. It allows ones comfort zone to “remain at large”.

It provides an energy to stimulate analytical capabilities and precision. It also promotes a forgiving attitude and a release of grievances which have been held against another. The apache tear stimulates spontaneity and facilitates the removal of barriers which are self-limiting.

It is said to expel the venom of snake bite. It can be used to enhance the assimilation of vitamins C and D, to aid in the elimination of toxins from the body, and to alleviate muscle spasm.

Vibrates to the number 6.
