APACHE TEAR 1 5/8″ Set of 5 Pieces Rough Rock Mineral Raw Root Chakra Crystal Stone Raw Natural Specimen Reiki Stone

Description

Real Apache Tears only come from the Imerys Perlite Quarry in Superior, Arizona. That is the only location where obsidian nodules are found in a naturally rounded shape and have a smoky translucent color. All the other obsidian nodules that are not rounded and have a gray translucent color that other sellers are selling as Apache Tear are not the authentic Apache Tears.

The mine in Superior Arizona was recently locked down from any more collecting. The only way to get these is to find “old stock”. I recently purchased 500 pounds of old stock from a rock shop that closed their business about 10 years ago. Apache Tears normally only grow about 1 inch size or smaller. Large ones like this are rare to come across.

For every quantity of 1 ordered you will receive 5 Apache Tears from the lot shown in the photos that are 1 1/2 inch to 1 3/4 inch and a total weight of 5 to 7 ounces.

Mineral Description
Apache tears is the popular term for rounded pebbles of obsidian or “obsidianites” composed of black or dark-colored natural volcanic glass, usually of rhyolite composition and bearing conchoidal fracture. 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.
