Seller's Description
The item in the photos is what you are receiving on purchase
50 x 35 x 30mm
In metaphysical circles, black obsidian has the aura of absolute mystery.
Its energy draws you in softly, but very deeply, which makes the
presence of black obsidian powerful in many ways.
It is commonly used for protection, healing, truth-telling, and feng shui.
Also called the stone of truth, black obsidian is supposed to reveal mysteries—
both about the inner world of the person working with the obsidian,
as well as the inner workings of the cosmos at large.
The sharpness of black obsidian is also expressed as a metaphysical property.
This powerful stone can help cut through illusions, lies, fearful facades, and blockages.
...........................................
"Apache tears" is the popular term for rounded pebbles of obsidian or "obsidianites" composed
of black or dark-coloured natural volcanic glass, usually of rhyolite composition and bearing conchoidal fracture.
Also known by the lithologic term "marekanite", this variety of obsidian occurs as subrounded to subangular
bodies up to about 2 inches in diameter we have a mixed selection being offered on with various listings
Raw and untouched just cleaned of dust, often bearing indented surfaces.
Internally the pebbles sometimes contain fine bands or microlites and though in reflected light they
appear black and opaque, they may be translucent in transmitted light.
Apache tears fall between 5 and 5.5 in hardness on the Mohs scale.
Apache tears originate from siliceous lava flows, lava domes or ash-flow tuffs, often in close association
with or embedded in, gray perlite. The spherules occur as cores within perlite masses that
typically exhibit texture of concentrically curved, onion-skin fractures.
Formation is apparently related to differential cooling and various alkali and water contents.
Excessive water present during cooling and quenching of rhyolitic lava causes obsidian to hydrate
(i.e., water entering the obsidian glass converts it to perlite).
Where perlite is incompletely hydrated, fresh obsidian cores remain as pebbles of marekanite,
or Apache tears; this origin has been occasionally described
in the geologic literature
Apache tears are well known from tertiary volcanic terrain in numerous
localities throughout the western United States, particularly Arizona, and like our Mexico
from where specimens were widely collected and sold in the lapidary and specimen trade.
Several districts in western Nevada also have yielded abundant Apache tears eroding
from tuff beds; such areas have been popularized in the lapidary trade lapidary
enthusiasts often tumble the gem and many
consider Obsidian as semi-precious gemstones.
The name "Apache tear" comes from a legend of the Apache tribe: about 75 Apaches and the
US Cavalry fought on a mountain overlooking what is now Superior, Arizona, in the 1870s.
Facing defeat, the outnumbered Apache warriors rode their horses off the mountain to
they're deaths rather than be killed. The wives and families of the warriors cried when they heard of the tragedy;
their tears turned into stone upon hitting the ground.
The one shown is the one we will supply.
