    Description

    Eight nice pieces of Apache Tears
    "Apache tears"
    is the popular term for rounded
    pebbles
    of
    obsidian
    .
    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 their 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.
