Apache Tear is a variety of obsidian. The name ‘Apache Tear’ comes from an old tale about an Apache tribe that was pursued by the cavalry. According to legend, soldiers drove the warriors to a steep cliff face, from which they plunged to their deaths. The Apache women wept dark tears of sorrow. These tears are said to have solidified into the teardrop-shaped stones that were later found in that area: the Apache Tear.
Apache Tear is a unique and powerful variety of obsidian, known for its gentle, healing energy and deep connection with the emotional body. This volcanic glass is usually black or dark brown and sometimes reveals translucent areas when held up to the light. Many people use Apache Tear for emotional healing, protection and grounding.
Apache Tear is highly insightful and stimulates your personal development through self-awareness. The stone helps you face the truth and dispel illusions. In a gentle way, it invites you to look within and encourages self-reflection. It also has a cleansing effect and helps you let go of old baggage from the past. Apache Tear reduces anxiety, blockages and trauma, and promotes a healthy flow of energy.
The stone brings old patterns of behaviour and thought to light, so that you can clearly recognise them. Bear in mind that Apache Tear is a powerful stone and can bring emotions to the surface. If you’re feeling vulnerable or not yet in balance, it’s best to use the stone under guidance. You could also opt for its sister stone, Snowflake Obsidian. It tackles blockages more gently, promotes clarity of mind and sharpens the senses.
Apache Tear is gentler than Black Obsidian. It protects your aura and absorbs negative energy, which is why regular cleansing is important. The stone also helps you to transform negative thought patterns, so that you can develop more positive thoughts and shape your own reality more consciously.
This stone eases grief and offers support during the grieving process, as well as with emotional pain and trauma. Apache Tear offers comfort and helps you let go of negative emotions without letting them overwhelm you.
