Nestled within the heart of the Picket Post Mountains near Superior, Arizona, lies a hidden treasure from the depths of the earth - the Apache Tears.
These tear-shaped stones, known as Apache Tears, are a special variety of obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass.
Millions of years ago, volcanic activity gave birth to the Picket Post Mountains. As molten lava flowed, it rapidly cooled and solidified, forming the obsidian. The unique conditions of rapid cooling resulted in the smooth, glassy texture of the Apache Tears.
For centuries, Apache Tears held great significance for the local Apache tribe. Legend has it that during a brutal conflict between the Apache warriors and the United States Cavalry, a group of Apache women and children, mourning the loss of their loved ones, shed tears that turned into these obsidian stones.
Apache Tears are not just geological marvels; they also carry spiritual and healing significance. Many believe these stones have protective and grounding properties. They are thought to absorb negative energy and promote emotional healing.
