Apache Tears Black Obsidian

Emotional support during times of grief.

These small pocket-sized Apache Tears are ideal for those suffering from loss or trauma. They allow you to pour your emotions into the stone and receive its healing energy. A talisman for protecting your heart as you recover. Keep one with you to act as a soothing balm when your emotions become overwhelming.

Apache Tears are a specific form of natural Obsidian and resemble “pebbles” of the dark volcanic glass. Their unique formation comes from differential cooling, particularly in water. Often found in the US states of Arizona and Nevada they are highly collectable. In US mythology they were created in the 1870s by the grieving tears of the wives and families of Apache warriors who, when facing the US Cavalry were about to be defeated, rode off a mountain to their deaths, rather than be captured or killed by the enemy.

A deeply grounding stone, they are connected to the Root Chakra and Gia. A receptacle for grief, you can pour into them your sorrow and negative emotions and let the crystal transform them into healing energy. It is said they protect your heart as you grieve, helping you accept what has happened, comfort and support emotional healing and helping you to feel less hollow inside. They also aid with the transition to new beginnings and new feelings of hope for the future. 

We will intuitively pick your crystal for you. To do this we speak aloud your name, ask the universe which stone you need, and make the best selection for you personally.
