Apache Tears Obsidian is a variety of Obsidian, a silica-rich glassy volcanic rock, originating from Mexico and South West of the United States of America. It is found in small roundish shapes of about 10 to 15 mm (1/2″) in diameter and is a dark brown/black color, semi-transparent when a strong light is viewed through the stone.
The name “Apache tear” comes from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the US Cavalry fought on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona, in the 1870s. Facing defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to their deaths rather than be killed. The wives and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the tragedy; their tears turned into stone upon hitting the ground.
