From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apache tears are a kind of nodular obsidian (volcanic black glass). An Apache tear looks opaque until it is held up to light, which reveals it to be translucent. Although black is the most common color for Apache tears, they can range in color from black to red to brown.

Apache tears have rounded forms (0.5 to 5 cm). They are often found embedded in a greyish-white perlite matrix.

The name “Apache tear” comes from a legend of the Apache tribe. The stones are supposedly the tears shed by the wives and families of a band of Apache warriors who were killed by the U.S. military in retaliation for their raid on an Arizona settlement.

Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
