The energy of these stones will strengthen the blood and the immune system, and they will help the body to assimilate Vitamin C and D. Their energy within the sacral or navel chakra helps to aid the removal of disharmonious energies in relationships. They assist with the reduction of toxins in the body by aiding their removal. They may calm muscle spasms and enhance vitality and strength within the body.They may bring through joy as they encourage you to feel more positive about life. Within the heart chakra their energy will assist the emotional body to heal, from old issues of an emotional nature.

Also known by the lithologic term \"marekanite\", this variety of obsidian occurs as subrounded to subangular bodies up to about 2 inches in diameter, often bearing indented surfaces. Internally the pebbles sometimes contain fine bands or microlites and though in reflected light they appear black and opaque, they may be translucent in transmitted light. They are a type of Black Obsidian Stone found in the south-western USA and Mexico. The meaning of their name comes from an American Indian legend. It was said that certain members of this tribe were pursued by the Cavalry, and although they fought bravely they were outnumbered. Rather than be captured they jumped off the cliff to their deaths. The distraught women of the tribe cried dark tears of grief, which fell to the earth, and formed into these dark strangely shaped stones. It is believed that their tears formed into reality as these unusual stones, so people will always remember what happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhysical Properties\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColor:\u003c\/b\u003e dark green to dark brown and black, also can show sheens of gold or green, yellow, blue and\/or purple coloration.
