APACHE TEAR - SCORPIO BIRTHSTONE

On October 23, we entered the sign of Scorpio.  Apache tear, beryl, aquamarine, coral, obsidian and topaz are the stones that represent the Zodiac sign of Scorpio.  Today we are highlighting 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 gives 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 used as a 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 is used to protect from negativity in our surroundings and from within (such as negative thoughts and reactions).

 

Apache Tear is associated with the root chakra.
