In honour of 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 are said to 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 used by 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.
