Apache Tear Obsidian Healing, Mineralogy, and History
Published May 2014 • Updated December 2022 • Read Time: 8 minutes
Apache Tear Obsidian are Black Obsidian nuggets that are found only in the historical territory of the Apache Tribe, in the American Southwest and Northern Mexico. When polished the are often translucent, similar to a Smoky Quartz. According to legend, these little gems were created following a great tragedy during the Apache Wars (1849-1886) between the Tribe and the United States. Today, they are considered the most powerful healing stones for grief and mourning. Energetically they are exceptionally comforting and validating, giving us all the time we need to heal (if possible) or to adjust (if necessary) to life with a broken heart. […]

Jordan S (Massachusetts) –
I just opened your stunning package a bit ago. What a gift! I cannot wait to try the tea, and the meaning behind it is so perfect. Your description of the stones’ uses spoke directly to my heart. And I love your thought-provoking questions, inviting ongoing contemplation. The Obsidian Apache Tears themselves are so beautiful, and not what I was expecting. I thought they would be larger, opaque, flat/matte black, and rougher. I guess I thought they would be as heavy and dark as grief itself. They certainly have strength and power, as well as the beautiful, gentle and natural shapes — including perfect globes. And I am most surprised by the translucency. I think there is a hint of purple in there, shone in the bit of light allowed through, and it makes me wonder if there is a hint of heavenly connection (7th chakra) in this deeply grounding stone, and that that connection is part of processing and letting go.
