Details
Apache
tears are really a volcanic glass, typically black, but sometimes
other colors. The Legend of the Apache
Tear is told: One
day a party of Apache Indians was ambushed by an enemy tribe. The
Apaches fought bravely but were greatly outnumbered and driven to
the top of a high bluff. Their arrows gone and unable to fight and
unwilling to be taken captive, they leapt from the cliffs to their
death. Their women were understandably grief-stricken and wept over
the bodies. Their teardrops froze when they hit the ground to become
the lovely stones we know today as Apache Tears. It is said that
whomever owns one of these stones will never cry again, for the
Apache women shed enough tears already.
