Rough and Tumbled As Found By Us
Apache Tear is really a sub-group or type of obsidian; essentially the same stone, both made of volcanic glass and black in colour. However, Apache Tears are black obsidian that formed within a rhyolite matrix giving them a much less glassy & more rough appearance.  Whereas black obsidian is known to be a very powerful stone, Apache Tears are gentler in their energy & good for less forceful emotional cleansing like working through grief as it is much lighter & gentler in its energy it’s great for emotional clearing while also being grounding & protective.
