Crystals: Apache Tears

According to American Indian history, in the 18702, 75 Apache warriors found themselves outnumbered and trapped by the U.S. Calvary. Rather than surrender to the enemy, the men leaped from a cliff to meet their death. Legend says that when the Apache women found out they had lost their fathers, husbands and sons, they cried for over a month. Their tears formed the stones known as Apache Tears. In contrast to other dark-colored crystals that have an intense masculine vibration, these gems have a nourishing and comforting nature. This might connect to the powerful story behind the creation of the stone, as they were brought to life by strong women mourning an immense loss.
