ARIES - APACHE TEARS

 In honour of just entering into the sun sign of Aries, we thought we would highlight Apache Tears, one of the sunstones associated with Aries. The many stones associated with Aries include (but not limited to) Amethyst, Anyolite, Aquamarine, Aventurine, Axinite, Bloodstone, Citrine, Diamond, Emerald, Fire Agate, Magnesite,  Magnetite, Stilbite to name a few.

Apache Tears is a common name for round small black obsidian nodules which are made of volcanic glass. Apache tears are 5 to 5.5 in hardness on the Mohs scale. These stones are brittle and chip easily so it is important to be careful when storing them with other stones. As a side note, I actually prefer the chipped nuggets as this give them dimension and more reflection….character if you will.

Apache tears are good luck stones.  They are grounding and are known to give protection.  Just as with any black obsidian, Apache tears protect us from negativity in our surroundings and from within (such as negative thoughts and reactions). 

Because of its positive effects on negative situations, Apache tears are used to relieve grief and sadness.

This stone is an excellent tool for those that give support during stressful situations.

Physically, Apache Tears have been used for muscle spasms and to boost the immune system.

Apache Tears are associated with the root chakra.
