According to Native American legend, the Apaches attempted to make a pact with white men. One day, a group of 70 of them left their tribe and decided to go and sign a peace treaty. They were ambushed by soldiers. \u003cbr\u003eFifty of the seventy men were killed. The twenty or so who survived took refuge on a mountaintop. They chose to jump to their deaths rather than be killed by the white man.\u003cbr\u003e When the news reached the rest of the tribe, made up mainly of women, children, and elders, they began to weep with grief. The families of the brave men who were killed shed copious tears that fell to the ground.\u003cbr\u003e These families were so grief-stricken that the Great Spirit decided to transform their tears into small black stones. Legend says that whoever carries an Apache tear obsidian will never cry again. \u003cbr\u003eIn reality, these are tiny \"droplets\" of volcanic glass. They are often trapped in gray perlite (a volcanic rock containing water). The presence of water during cooling causes the obsidian to hydrate. The water that penetrates the glass transforms into perlite. When the perlite is not completely saturated with water, pockets of obsidian remain, resembling Apache Tear pebbles.\u003cbr\u003e This obsidian appears opaque, but when exposed to light, its transparency becomes apparent. It then resembles smoky quartz. It is said that this stone, when exposed to light, reveals the transparent tears of Apache women.\u003cbr\u003e Apache tear obsidian is black or dark gray with small white inclusions. It is also known as \"smoky obsidian.\" It is said to bring good luck to the wearer.\u003cbr\u003e The main deposits are located in Mexico or the United States.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn crystal healing, Apache Tear Obsidian is particularly recommended for people who have recently experienced a tragedy, such as the loss of a loved one, a breakup, or unfair dismissal. It promotes the release of deep sorrows and allows for the acceptance of suffering. It is a stone of consolation and liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Native Americans use this stone for good luck and protection against dark forces. Apache tear obsidian acts as armor against negative energies, harmful influences, and bad vibes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This stone allows for objective thinking and the control of feelings and passions. It fosters compassion and forgiveness to maintain balance. It helps one live in the present moment and releases blockages linked to the past. It encourages letting go of resentment, bitterness, and anger.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThrough introspective work, she brings to the surface the negative feelings that underlie psychological blocks. By providing understanding, she liberates those who struggle to let go of the past. She also eliminates feelings of inferiority or lack of self-confidence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e When experiencing relationship problems, Apache Tear Obsidian provides balance during difficulties or crises. It encourages letting go and allows one to relinquish the need to control everything. It promotes quality communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: verdana;\" open=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #666666;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana; font-size: 10pt; color: #666666;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Boite à Cailloux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54938573111644,"sku":"OBS-APA-02","price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/8577\/6732\/files\/obsidienne-larme-dapache-arizona-a-pierre-brute-2707114.jpg?v=1779712992","url":"https:\/\/www.laboiteacailloux.com\/en\/products\/obsidienne-larme-dapache-arizona-a-pierre-brute","provider":"La Boite à Cailloux","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
