Apache Tear is a captivating variety of obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed from rapid cooling of lava. Typically appearing as small, smooth, black or dark grey pebbles with a glossy surface, these stones often show a subtle translucence when held to light. In folklore, Apache Tears are revered as protective stones, said to absorb grief and provide comfort. Metaphysically, they are believed to ground energy, relieve stress, and enhance emotional healing, making them ideal for collectors and spiritual practitioners seeking calming, protective energy.
