Description
These are rare extra large size polished Apache Tears! To make a tumbler polished Apache Tear that is 1 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch size requires a rough Apache Tear that is 2 inch to 2 1/2 inch size. Rough Apache Tears that are 2 inch and larger are rare to find because they mostly only grow about 1 inch or smaller.
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.
I only found 100 pieces in the 500 pounds I purchased that were big enough to make a 2 inch tumbled stone.I sent the rough stones to a friend in Arizona who is a master at tumbler polishing tears. When these are gone and I may never have them again!
You will receive one Apache Tear from the lot shown in the photos that are 1 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch around.

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.
