Apache TearsGood Luck Stone Legend

About 75 Apaches and the US Calvary squared off against each other in battle on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona in the 1870's. Rather than face defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to their deaths. The families of the warriors cried when they learned of the tragedy. Their tears turned into stone upon hitting the ground. Today these beautiful translucent gemstones are known as Apache Tears Good Luck Stones.

"To give a friend or loved one an Apache Tears Good Luck Stone is to give them GOOD LUCK to carry with them forever."

To us it's just a stone, but to the Ancient Ones it's a frozen tear, lost in the sands of time.  Giving one to a friend unlocks their tears and allows GOOD LUCK to flow, as it frees their spirit from Mother Earth!

Obsidian is considered extremely protective and said to allow no negative energy or negative spirit to enter. In the Middle Ages it was thought to drive out demons. It provides protection from negative spirits.

Obsidian can be polished to a shiny mirror surface. Because of this shiny, mirror surface, Obsidian is attributed with the ability to reflect back to us our true selves. It reveals to us our flaws in no uncertain terms. Because of this property, obsidian is said to remove emotional blocks. Said to be a vision stone for use in vision quests and prophetic dreaming.

Obsidian is a gemstone of the 1st Chakra. It provides protection, grounding and protection from negative self-image, especially with respect to our physical appearance. Especially helpful in times of grief.

Obsidian was given as a remedy for snake poison. Useful to combat grief and depression.

Obsidian is useful as a grounding stone. Gem therapists recommend that you gaze into it for a very short time (1-5 minutes) each day for 3 days when you need insight into a problem. Use black obsidian if you are unable to use aquamarine. This is a very strong stone. Use it sparingly.
