Description
When the Native Americans no longer saw a chance to defend themselves against the white supremacy, they became so sad that they covered their beloved homeland with their tears, where they became black tears as a memory. Apache tears remain a symbol of freedom, strength, and health for all Native American peoples today. Apache tears are created by the sudden cooling of lava droplets by water or ice. They are round or teardrop-shaped obsidians, naturally formed glass. The mineral is found in the American states of Utah and Arizona, the areas where the Apache Indians once lived. Apache tear is still worn by Native Americans as protection against inflammation and bacterial infections. The stone strengthens intuition, transforms fears about the future into optimism, and gives the wearer greater zest for life. Apache tear is used in gemstone therapy for stress-related stomach and intestinal problems and to harmonize skin functions. The larger the tear, the stronger its power. Because of its color, Apache tear is chakra neutral and can therefore be used effectively on any chakra.
