HISTORY & LORE
The name "Apache Tear" comes from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the US Cavalry fought on a mountain in the 1870s. Facing defeat, the outnumbered remaining Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to their deaths rather than be killed.

The Apache women gathered a short distance from the base of the cliff where the sands were white, and for a moon, they wept for their dead warriors. They mourned greatly. Their sadness was so great that the Great Father imbedded into black stone the tears of the Apache Women who mourned their dead. These black obsidian stones, when held up to the light, reveal the translucent tears of the Apache.

The stones are said to bring good luck to any who possess them. It is believed that whoever owns an Apache Tear Drop will never cry again, for the Apache Women have shed their tears in place of yours.
