These Apache Tear crystals are a beautifully translucent obsidian stone. This grounding crystal is believed to offer protection and healing, making it a wonderful addition to any crystal collection. Legend has it that the Apache Tear gets its name from a sad tale of mourning and sorrow, with the tears of Apache women turning into these dark stones after a great battle. Each Apache Tear carries with it the strength and resilience of the Apache people, making it a powerful tool for emotional healing and spiritual growth.
