We are entering the sign of Scorpio today and we thought appropriate to feature the Birthstone or Sunstones of Scorpio. Apache tear, beryl, aquamarine, coral, obsidian and topaz are the stones that represent the Zodiac sign of Scorpio. Today we will highlight Apache Tear.
Apache Tear is a common name for round
small black obsidian nodules which are made of volcanic glass. Apache tear has
a hardness of 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale. These nodules 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 Tear is said to be a good luck stone.
Apache Tear is used to relieve grief and
sadness. This is an excellent tool for those that give support during stressful
situations.
Apache Tear is said to be grounding and is
known to give protection. Just as with
black obsidian, Apache Tear used to protect from negativity in our surroundings
and from within (such as negative thoughts and reactions).
Physically, Apache Tear has been used for
muscle spasms and to boost the immune system.
Apache Tear is associated with the root
chakra.
