Apache Tears are a gentle form of Black Obsidian, known for their emotional healing power, grief support, and deep protection. These rounded, semi-transparent black or dark brown stones carry a softer, more nurturing energy than regular Obsidian—making them perfect for processing sorrow, releasing emotional pain, and finding strength in vulnerability.

They get their name from a legend of the Apache tribe, symbolizing tears of grief and honor—and that energy of sacred mourning still lives in the stone.
